27:002:024 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom
the king had
ordained
to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and
said
thus
unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon:
bring me
in
before the king, and I will shew unto the king the
interpretation.
27:002:025 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the
king in haste, and
said
thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of
Judah,
that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
27:002:026 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose
name was
Belteshazzar,
Art thou able to make known unto me the dream
which
I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27:002:027 Daniel answered in the presence of the
king, and said, The
secret
which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the
astrologers,
the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the
king;
27:002:028 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth
secrets, and
maketh
known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the
latter
days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon
thy
bed,
are these;
27:002:029 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came
into thy mind upon thy
bed,
what should come to pass hereafter: and he that
revealeth
secrets
maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
27:002:030 But as for me, this secret is not revealed
to me for any
wisdom
that I have more than any living, but for their sakes
that
shall make known the interpretation to the king, and
that
thou
mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
27:002:031 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great
image. This great
image,
whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee;
and
the
form thereof was terrible.
27:002:032 This image’s head was of fine gold,
his breast and his arms of
silver,
his belly and his thighs of brass,
27:002:033 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
27:002:034 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out
without hands, which
smote
the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay,
and
brake
them to pieces.
27:002:035 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.
27:002:036 This is the dream; and we will tell the
interpretation thereof
before
the king.
27:002:037 Thou, O king, art a king of kings:
for the God of heaven hath
given
thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
