27:003:027 And the princes, governors, and captains,
and the king’s
counsellors,
being gathered together, saw these men, upon
whose
bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their
head
singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell
of
fire had passed on them.
27:003:028 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed
be the God of
Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and
delivered
his servants that trusted in him, and have changed
the
king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they
might not
serve
nor worship any god, except their own God.
27:003:029 Therefore I make a decree, That every people,
nation, and
language,
which speak any thing amiss against the God of
Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and
their
houses shall be made a dunghill: because there
is no
other
God that can deliver after this sort.
27:003:030 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego, in the
province
of Babylon.
27:004:001 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people,
nations, and
languages,
that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied
unto
you.
27:004:002 I thought it good to shew the signs and
wonders that the high
God
hath wrought toward me.
27:004:003 How great are his signs! and how mighty
are his wonders! his
kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from
generation
to generation.
27:004:004 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house,
and flourishing in
my
palace:
27:004:005 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and
the thoughts upon my
bed
and the visions of my head troubled me.
27:004:006 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all
the wise men of
Babylon
before me, that they might make known unto me the
interpretation
of the dream.
27:004:007 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers,
the Chaldeans,
and
the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them;
but
they
did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
27:004:008 But at the last Daniel came in before me,
whose name was
Belteshazzar,
according to the name of my God, and in whom is
the
spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told
the dream,
saying,
27:004:009 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians,
because I know that
the
spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret
troubleth
thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have
seen,
and the interpretation thereof.
27:004:010 Thus were the visions of mine head in my
bed; I saw, and
behold
a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height
thereof
was great.
