Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
Her priests have
violated my law, and have
profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and
profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have
hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am
profaned among them.
Her priests do violence to My law and
profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am
profaned among them.
And her
prophets have
daubed them with untempered
morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
Her
prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they
bruised the teats of their
virginity.
and they played in Egypt,
prostituting themselves from their youth. Their breasts were
fondled there, and their virgin bosoms
caressed.
And Aholah played the
harlot when she was mine; and she
doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
Oholah
prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She
lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they
bruised the breasts of her
virginity, and poured their
whoredom upon her.
And when her sister
Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her
inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with
vermilion,
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was
alienated from her, like as my mind was
alienated from her sister.
When Oholibah openly
prostituted herself and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in
disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to
remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the
harlot in the land of Egypt.
Yet she multiplied her
promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had
prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
Thus will I make thy
lewdness to cease from thee, and thy
whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
So I will put an end to your
indecency and
prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
And they shall deal with thee
hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.
They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your
prostitution will be exposed. Your
indecency and
promiscuity I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a
whoring after the heathen, and because thou art
polluted with their idols.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your
indecency and
prostitution.’”
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have
defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have
profaned my sabbaths.
They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they
defiled My sanctuary and
profaned My Sabbaths.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to
profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to
profane it.
Yes, they did this inside My house.
Then said I unto her that was old in
adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
Then I said of her who had grown old in
adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a
prostitute, for that is all she is!’
Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the
harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto
Aholibah, the
lewd women.
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
profane my sanctuary, the
excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to
desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
And say unto the
Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst,
Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was
profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was
desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
Tell the
Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you
exclaimed, “
Aha!” when My sanctuary was
profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,
Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and
broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and
agate.
Aram was your customer because of your many
products; they exchanged
turquoise, purple,
embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and
rubies for your wares.
Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
Because of your many products and your great wealth of goods, Damascus traded with you wine from Helbon, wool from Zahar,
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.
By thy great wisdom and by thy
traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.
By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast
sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you
sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O
guardian cherub, from among the
fiery stones.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Your heart grew
proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your
splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a
spectacle before kings.
Thou hast
defiled thy
sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy
traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall
devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
By the multitude of your
iniquities and the
dishonesty of your trading you have
profaned your
sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

Thus saith the LORD; They also that
uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of
Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her
proud strength will
collapse. From
Migdol to
Syene they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Lord GOD.
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be
darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the
pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
The day will be
darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her
proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up
thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,
And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its
produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that
enslaved them.
Son of man, set thy face against mount
Seir, and
prophesy against it,

Seir and
prophesy against it,
Also, thou son of man,
prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
“And you, son of man,
prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
Therefore
prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you
desolate, and
swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an
infamy of the people:
therefore
prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you
desolate and have
trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in
slander by the lips of their talkers,
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my
fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
Therefore,
prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have
endured the reproach of the nations.
But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you
prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
And when they entered unto the heathen,
whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
And wherever they went among the nations, they
profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’
But I had
pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had
profaned among the heathen,
whither they went.
But I had
concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had
profaned among the nations to which they had gone.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have
profaned among the heathen,
whither ye went.
Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you
profaned among the nations to which you went.
And I will
sanctify my great name, which was
profaned among the heathen, which ye have
profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be

I will show the
holiness of My great name, which has been
profaned among the nations—the name you have
profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My
holiness in you before their eyes.
Again he said unto me,
Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
And He said to me, “
Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
So I
prophesied as I was commanded: and as I
prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
So I
prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I
prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a
rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Then said he unto me,
Prophesy unto the wind,
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Then He said to me, “
Prophesy to the breath;
prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
So I
prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
So I
prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
Therefore
prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the
prophets of Israel, which
prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the
prophets of Israel, who in those times
prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great
shaking in the land of Israel;
Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against
Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O
Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal:
“As for you, O son of man,
prophesy against
Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O
Gog, chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal.
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them
pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be
profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
The double-
pronged hooks, each a
handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.
And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,
And the chamber whose
prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of
Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of
Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the
profane place.
So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more
defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites
forever. The house of Israel will never again
defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their
prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
Now let them put away their
whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Now let them remove far from Me their
prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them
forever.
So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
The altar
hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall
project upward from the
hearth.
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young
bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without
blemish.
For seven days you are to
provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to
provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both
unblemished.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and
profane, and cause them to
discern between the unclean and the clean.
They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to
discern between the clean and the unclean.
And ye shall
appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the
oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the
oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the
oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the
property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running
lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the
tribal portions.
And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all
solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make
reconciliation for the house of Israel.
And it shall be the prince’s part to
provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will
provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make
atonement for the house of Israel.
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a
bullock for a sin offering.
On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without
blemish daily the seven days; and a
kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall
provide seven bulls and seven rams without
blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.
He shall also
provide as a grain offering an
ephah for each bull and an
ephah for each ram, along with a
hin of olive oil for each
ephah of grain.
In the seventh month, in the
fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
During the seven days of the feast that begins on the
fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same
provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
And he shall prepare a meat offering, an
ephah for a
bullock, and an
ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an
hin of oil to an
ephah.
He is to
provide a grain offering of an
ephah with the bull, an
ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a
hin of oil per
ephah.
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without
blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
And you shall
provide an
unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an
ephah, and the third part of an
hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance unto the LORD.
You are also to
provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an
ephah with a third of a
hin of oil to
moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by
evicting them from their
property. He is to
provide an inheritance for his sons from his own
property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his
property.’”
And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a
profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it
And the residue in length over against the
oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the
oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.
All the
oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy
oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.
And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy
oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the
oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy
oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the
property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the
tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.
Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
So the
Levitical property and the city
property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.
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.
Prove thy servants, I
beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us
pulse to eat, and water to drink.
“Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.
So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Then the king
promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire
province of Babylon and chief
administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set
Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego, over the affairs of the
province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
And at Daniel’s request, the king appointed
Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego to
manage the
province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the king’s court.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was
threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of
Dura, in the
province of Babylon.
King
Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up on the plain of
Dura in the
province of Babylon.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
provinces, to come to the
dedication of the image which
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Then King
Nebuchadnezzar sent word to
assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other officials of the
provinces to attend the
dedication of the statue he had set up.
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
provinces, were gathered together unto the
dedication of the image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that
Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the
provinces assembled for the
dedication of the statue that King
Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
Then an
herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
