¶ I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: Isa 47:7-81Th 5:2-3Ezk 28:17Ezk 28:2-5Ezk 29:3Isa 56:12Jer 48:11Luk 12:19-20 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. Dan 2:1Dan 2:28-29Dan 5:10Dan 5:5-6Dan 7:28Gen 41:1Job 7:13-14 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. Dan 2:2Gen 41:7-8Isa 47:12-14Isa 8:19 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. Isa 44:25Dan 2:72Ti 3:8-9Dan 2:1-2Dan 2:10Dan 2:27Gen 41:8Jer 27:9-10
¶ 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, Dan 1:7Dan 4:18Dan 5:14Dan 2:11Dan 4:9Dan 5:11-12Isa 46:1Isa 63:11 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. Dan 2:48Dan 5:11Dan 4:8Dan 1:20Dan 4:5Ezk 28:3Gen 41:38Jdg 7:13-15 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. 2 Dan 4:5Jer 12:2Ezk 31:3-18Isa 10:33-34Psa 37:35-36Dan 4:20-26 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: Dan 4:21-22Deu 9:1Mat 11:23Gen 11:4 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. Luk 13:19Ezk 17:23Ezk 31:6-7Lam 4:20Jer 27:6-7Mat 13:32Mrk 13:32 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; Deu 33:2Dan 7:1Dan 8:13Dan 4:23Dan 4:5Jud 1:14Psa 89:7Zec 14:5 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches: 3 Mat 3:10Dan 4:23Ezk 31:12-13Dan 3:4Dan 4:12Luk 13:7-9Luk 3:9Mat 7:19 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: Job 14:7-9Dan 4:25-27Ezk 29:14-15 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. Dan 4:23Dan 4:25Isa 6:10Rev 12:14Dan 11:13Dan 12:7Dan 4:31-33Dan 7:25 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. Dan 2:21Dan 4:251Sa 2:8Psa 75:6-7Dan 5:18-21Jer 27:5-7Psa 113:7-81Co 1:28 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Dan 5:15Gen 41:8Dan 4:7-9Dan 5:8Gen 41:151Ki 14:2-3Amo 3:7Dan 2:26-28
¶ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. Dan 7:28Dan 8:271Sa 3:172Sa 18:31-32Dan 10:16-17Dan 4:24Dan 4:4-5Jer 4:19 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; Dan 4:10-12Ezk 31:3Ezk 31:16 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation: It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 2Sa 12:7Dan 2:37-38Jer 27:6-8Dan 5:18-23Gen 11:4Gen 28:12Mat 14:4Psa 108:4 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him; Dan 5:21Dan 4:13-16 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: Psa 107:40Isa 46:10-11Job 40:11-12Dan 4:17Isa 14:24-27Isa 23:9Job 1:12-19Job 20:29 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan 4:17Jer 27:5Psa 83:18Dan 2:21Psa 106:20Job 30:3-8Psa 75:7Dan 5:21-31 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. Dan 4:15Dan 2:37Dan 4:23Luk 15:18Luk 15:21Mat 21:20Mat 5:34 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 4 Isa 55:6-7Jon 3:9Act 8:22Ezk 18:27-32Jas 4:8-10Luk 11:41Pro 16:6Eph 4:28
¶ All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. Num 23:19Zec 1:6Mat 24:35Pro 10:24 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 5 Rev 2:211Pe 3:202Pe 3:152Pe 3:9-10Ecc 8:11Gen 6:3 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? Pro 16:18Ezk 29:3Isa 10:8-15Luk 14:11Rev 17:5Rev 18:101Ch 29:12-141Pe 5:5 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. Act 9:3-5Luk 12:20Rev 16:71Sa 13:141Sa 15:23Dan 4:24Dan 4:34Dan 5:28 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan 5:21Jer 27:5Job 12:18-21Pro 8:15-16Exo 8:10Exo 9:29Jos 4:24Dan 4:14-17 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. Dan 4:25Dan 4:32Dan 5:21Dan 5:5Isa 30:14Job 20:51Th 5:2
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: Rev 4:10Psa 145:13Dan 12:7Dan 2:44Jer 10:10Dan 4:32Dan 6:26Dan 4:26 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? Job 42:2Psa 135:6Psa 115:3Rom 11:33-36Isa 40:15-17Eph 1:11Isa 43:13Mat 11:25-26 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Dan 4:34Pro 22:42Ch 33:12-13Dan 4:15-16Dan 4:32Mat 6:331Sa 2:302Co 4:17 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
