shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and
great honour: therefore
shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can
shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any
magician, or
astrologer, or

The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however
great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any
magician,
enchanter, or
astrologer.

As you, O king, were watching, a
great statue appeared. A
great and
dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was
awesome.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that
smote the image became a
great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were
shattered and became like
chaff on the
threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a
great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it
brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the
great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass
hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
And just as you saw a stone being cut out of the mountain without human hands, and it
shattered the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold, so the
great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is
trustworthy.”

nails like birds’ claws.

Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He
ate grass like an ox, and his body was
drenched with the
dew of heaven, until his hair
grew like the feathers of an eagle and his

trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he
exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven
strove upon the
great sea.

And four
great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another.
Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had
great iron teeth: it
devoured and
brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was
diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was
terrifying—
dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It
devoured and
crushed; then it
trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking
great things.
While I was
contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of
arrogance.
I
beheld then because of the voice of the
great words which the horn spake: I
beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Then I kept watching because of the
arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the
blazing fire.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very
great things, whose look was more
stout than his fellows.

arrogance.

And the kingdom and dominion, and the
greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an
everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with two horns standing beside the canal. The horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one grew up later.
I saw the ram
pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became
great.
I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no
deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became
great.
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
From one of these horns a little horn
emerged and
grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
It
grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and
trampled them.

Grecia: and the
great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
The
shaggy goat represents the king of
Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall
prosper, and
practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to
prosper in his hand; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause
deceit to
prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself
great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.

You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a
great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.
O my God,
incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy
great mercies.
Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the
desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your
great compassion.
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to
shew thee; for thou art
greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:

great river, the
Tigris,
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a
great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a
great terror fell upon them, and they ran and
hid themselves.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this
great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my
comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
So I was left alone,
gazing at this
great vision. No strength remained in me; my face
grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man
greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood
trembling.
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up
trembling.
And said, O man
greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong,
yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”

Grecia shall come.

shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall
stir up all against the realm of

stirred up, and shall
assemble a multitude of
great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be
stirred up, even to his fortress.
And the king of the south shall be moved with
choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a
great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
In a
rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
For the king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
And he shall
stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a
great army; and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very
great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall
forecast devices against him.
And with a large army he will
stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will
mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not
withstand the plots devised against him.
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
But
tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with
great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
But news from the east and the north will
alarm him, and he will go out with
great fury to destroy many and
devote them to destruction.

“At that time Michael, the
great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—
everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

gracious and
compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending
disaster.
But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and

great things.

great city of three days’ journey.
This time
Jonah got up and went to
Nineveh, in accordance with the word of the LORD. Now
Nineveh was an exceedingly
great city, requiring a three-day journey.
So the people of
Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloth, from the
greatest of them even to the least of them.
And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in
sackcloth, from the
greatest of them to the least.
But it displeased
Jonah exceedingly, and he was very
angry.
Jonah, however, was
greatly displeased, and he became
angry.
And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto
Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a
gracious God, and
merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to
flee toward
Tarshish. I knew that You are a
gracious and
compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion—One who relents from sending
disaster.
