king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made
bald, and every shoulder was
peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
“Son of man,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor
strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made
bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.

king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her
spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall
limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s
king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.

lamentation for Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a

amazed at thee, and their
kings shall be
horribly afraid for thee, when I shall
brandish my sword before them; and they shall
tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
I will cause many peoples to be
appalled over you, and their
kings will
shudder in
horror because of you when I
brandish My sword before them. On the day of your
downfall each of them will
tremble every moment for his life.’

kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their
kings in their high places.

And the Lord delivered into his hand
Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with some of the articles from the house of God. He carried these off to the land of
Shinar, to the house of his god, where he put them in the treasury of his god.
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes;
Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility—
Children in whom was no
blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and
cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the
king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
young men without
blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the
king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans.
And the
king appointed them a daily provision of the
king’s meat, and of the wine which he
drank: so
nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the
king.
The king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the
king’s meat, nor with the wine which he
drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not
defile himself.
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not
defile himself with the
king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to
defile himself.
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the
king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me
endanger my head to the
king.
but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the
king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking
thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would
endanger my head before the
king!”
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.
And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better
nourished than all the young men who were eating the
king’s food.
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. And Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.
Now at the end of the days that the
king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before
Nebuchadnezzar.
Now at the end of the time specified by the
king, the chief official presented them to
Nebuchadnezzar.
And the
king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah: therefore stood they before the
king.
And the
king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah. So they entered the
king’s service.
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.
And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
Then the
king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to
shew the
king his dreams. So they came and stood before the
king.
So the
king gave orders to
summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the
king,
