Daniel Chapter 2 - King James Strong Number Version

1
And in the second <H8147> year <H8141> of the reign <H4438> of Nebuchadnezzar <H5019> Nebuchadnezzar <H5019> dreamed <H2492> dreams, <H2472> wherewith his spirit <H7307> was troubled, <H6470> and his sleep <H8142> brake <H1961> from him.
2
Then the king <H4428> commanded <H0559> to call <H7121> the magicians, <H2748> and the astrologers, <H0825> and the sorcerers, <H3784> and the Chaldeans, <H3778> for to shew <H5046> the king <H4428> his dreams. <H2472> So they came <H0935> and stood <H5975> before <H6440> the king. <H4428>
3
And the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto them, I have dreamed <H2492> a dream, <H2472> and my spirit <H7307> was troubled <H6470> to know <H3045> the dream. <H2472>
4
Then spake <H1696> the Chaldeans <H3778> to the king <H4428> in Syriack, <H0762> O king, <H4430> live <H2418> for ever: <H5957> tell <H0560> thy servants <H5649> the dream, <H2493> and we will shew <H2324> the interpretation. <H6591>
5
The king <H4430> answered <H6032> and said <H0560> to the Chaldeans, <H3779> The thing <H4406> is gone <H0230> from me: <H4481> if <H2006> ye will not <H3809> make known <H3046> unto me the dream, <H2493> with the interpretation <H6591> thereof, ye shall be cut <H5648> in pieces, <H1917> and your houses <H1005> shall be made <H7761> a dunghill. <H5122>
6
But if <H2006> ye shew <H2324> the dream, <H2493> and the interpretation <H6591> thereof, ye shall receive <H6902> of <H4481> me <H6925> gifts <H4978> and rewards <H5023> and great <H7690> honour: <H3367> therefore <H3861> shew <H2324> me the dream, <H2493> and the interpretation <H6591> thereof.
7
They answered <H6032> again <H8579> and said, <H0560> Let the king <H4430> tell <H0560> his servants <H5649> the dream, <H2493> and we will shew <H2324> the interpretation <H6591> of it.
8
The king <H4430> answered <H6032> and said, <H0560> I <H0576> know <H3046> of <H4481> certainty <H3330> that ye <H0608> would gain <H2084> the time, <H5732> because <H6903> <H3606> ye see <H2370> the thing <H4406> is gone <H0230> from <H4481> me.
9
But <H1768> if <H2006> ye will not <H3809> make known <H3046> unto me the dream, <H2493> [there is but] one <H1932> <H2298> decree <H1882> for you: for ye have prepared <H2164> lying <H3538> and corrupt <H7844> words <H4406> to speak <H0560> before <H6925> me, till <H5705> the time <H5732> be changed: <H8133> therefore <H3861> tell <H0560> me the dream, <H2493> and I shall know <H3046> that <H1768> ye can shew <H2324> me the interpretation <H6591> thereof.
10
The Chaldeans <H3779> answered <H6032> before <H6925> the king, <H4430> and said, <H0560> There is <H0383> not <H3809> a man <H0606> upon <H5922> the earth <H3007> that can <H3202> shew <H2324> the king's <H4430> matter: <H4406> therefore <H3606> <H6903> <H1768> [there is] no <H3809> <H3606> king, <H4430> lord, <H7229> nor ruler, <H7990> [that] asked <H7593> such <H1836> things <H4406> at any <H3606> magician, <H2749> or astrologer, <H0826> or Chaldean. <H3779>
11
And [it is] a rare <H3358> thing <H4406> that the king <H4430> requireth, <H7593> and there is <H0383> none <H3809> other <H0321> that can shew <H2324> it before <H6925> the king, <H4430> except <H3861> the gods, <H0426> whose dwelling <H4070> is <H0383> not <H3809> with <H5974> flesh. <H1321>
12
For this cause <H3606> <H6903> <H1836> the king <H4430> was angry <H1149> and very <H7690> furious, <H7108> and commanded <H0560> to destroy <H0007> all <H3606> the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon. <H0895>
13
And the decree <H1882> went forth <H5312> that the wise <H2445> [men] should be slain; <H6992> and they sought <H1156> Daniel <H1841> and his fellows <H2269> to be slain. <H6992>
14
Then <H0116> Daniel <H1841> answered <H8421> with counsel <H5843> and wisdom <H2942> to Arioch <H0746> the captain <H7229> of <H1768> the king's <H4430> guard, <H2877> which was gone forth <H5312> to slay <H6992> the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon: <H0895>
15
He answered <H6032> and said <H0560> to Arioch <H0746> the king's <H4430> captain, <H7990> Why <H4101> <H5922> [is] the decree <H1882> [so] hasty <H2685> from <H4481> <H6925> the king? <H4430> Then <H0116> Arioch <H0746> made the thing <H4406> known <H3046> to Daniel. <H1841>
16
Then Daniel <H1841> went in, <H5954> and desired <H1156> of <H4481> the king <H4430> that he would give <H5415> him time, <H2166> and that he would shew <H2324> the king <H4430> the interpretation. <H6591>
17
Then <H0116> Daniel <H1841> went <H0236> to his house, <H1005> and made the thing <H4406> known <H3046> to Hananiah, <H2608> Mishael, <H4333> and Azariah, <H5839> his companions: <H2269>
18
That they would desire <H1156> mercies <H7359> of <H4481> <H6925> the God <H0426> of heaven <H8065> concerning <H5922> this <H1836> secret; <H7328> that Daniel <H1841> and his fellows <H2269> should not <H3809> perish <H0007> with <H5974> the rest <H7606> of the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon. <H0895>
19
Then <H0116> was the secret <H7328> revealed <H1541> unto Daniel <H1840> in a night <H3916> vision. <H2376> Then <H0116> Daniel <H1841> blessed <H1289> the God <H0426> of heaven. <H8065>
20
Daniel <H1841> answered <H6032> and said, <H0560> Blessed <H1289> be <H1934> the name <H8036> of God <H0426> for <H4481> ever <H5957> and <H5705> ever: <H5957> for wisdom <H2452> and might <H1370> are <H1932> his:
21
And he changeth <H8133> the times <H5732> and the seasons: <H2166> he removeth <H5709> kings, <H4430> and setteth up <H6966> kings: <H4430> he giveth <H3052> wisdom <H2452> unto the wise, <H2445> and knowledge <H4486> to them that know <H3046> understanding: <H0999>
22
He revealeth <H1541> the deep <H5994> and secret things: <H5642> he knoweth <H3046> what <H4101> [is] in the darkness, <H2816> and the light <H5094> dwelleth <H8271> with him. <H5974>
23
I <H0576> thank <H3029> thee, and praise <H7624> thee, O thou God <H0426> of my fathers, <H0002> who hast given <H3052> me wisdom <H2452> and might, <H1370> and hast made known <H3046> unto me now <H3705> what we desired <H1156> of thee: <H4481> for thou hast [now] made known <H3046> unto us the king's <H4430> matter. <H4406>
24
Therefore <H3606> <H6903> <H1836> Daniel <H1841> went in <H5954> unto <H5922> Arioch, <H0746> whom the king <H4430> had ordained <H4483> to destroy <H0007> the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon: <H0895> he went <H0236> and said <H0560> thus <H3652> unto him; Destroy <H0007> not <H0409> the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon: <H0895> bring me in <H5954> before <H6925> the king, <H4430> and I will shew <H2324> unto the king <H4430> the interpretation. <H6591>
25
Then <H0116> Arioch <H0746> brought in <H5954> Daniel <H1841> before <H6925> the king <H4430> in haste, <H0927> and said <H0560> thus <H3652> unto him, I have found <H7912> a man <H1400> of <H4481> the captives <H1123> <H1547> of Judah, <H3061> that will make known <H3046> unto the king <H4430> the interpretation. <H6591>
26
The king <H4430> answered <H6032> and said <H0560> to Daniel, <H1841> whose name <H8036> [was] Belteshazzar, <H1096> Art <H0383> thou able <H3546> to make known <H3046> unto me the dream <H2493> which I have seen, <H2370> and the interpretation <H6591> thereof?
27
Daniel <H1841> answered <H6032> in the presence <H6925> of the king, <H4430> and said, <H0560> The secret <H7328> which the king <H4430> hath demanded <H7593> cannot <H3809> <H3202> the wise <H2445> [men], the astrologers, <H0826> the magicians, <H2749> the soothsayers, <H1505> shew <H2324> unto the king; <H4430>
28
But <H1297> there is <H0383> a God <H0426> in heaven <H8065> that revealeth <H1541> secrets, <H7328> and maketh known <H3046> to the king <H4430> Nebuchadnezzar <H5020> what <H4101> shall be <H1934> in the latter <H0320> days. <H3118> Thy dream, <H2493> and the visions <H2376> of thy head <H7217> upon <H5922> thy bed, <H4903> are these; <H1836>
29
As for thee, <H0607> O king, <H4430> thy thoughts <H7476> came <H5559> [into thy mind] upon <H5922> thy bed, <H4903> what <H4101> should come to pass <H1934> hereafter: <H0311> <H1836> and he that revealeth <H1541> secrets <H7328> maketh known <H3046> to thee what <H4101> shall come to pass. <H1934>
30
But as for me, <H0576> this <H1836> secret <H7328> is not <H3809> revealed <H1541> to me for [any] wisdom <H2452> that I have <H0383> more than <H4481> any <H3606> living, <H2417> but <H3861> for <H5922> [their] sakes <H1701> that shall make known <H3046> the interpretation <H6591> to the king, <H4430> and that thou mightest know <H3046> the thoughts <H7476> of thy heart. <H3825>
31
Thou, <H0607> O king, <H4430> sawest, <H1934> <H2370> and behold <H0431> a <H2298> great <H7690> image. <H6755> This <H1797> great <H7229> image, <H6755> whose brightness <H2122> [was] excellent, <H3493> stood <H6966> before <H6903> thee; and the form <H7299> thereof [was] terrible. <H1763>
32
This image's <H6755> head <H7217> [was] of fine <H2869> gold, <H1722> his breast <H2306> and his arms <H1872> of silver, <H3702> his belly <H4577> and his thighs <H3410> of brass, <H5174>
33
His legs <H8243> of iron, <H6523> his feet <H7271> part <H4481> of iron <H6523> and part <H4481> of clay. <H2635>
34
Thou sawest <H2370> <H1934> till <H5705> that a stone <H0069> was cut out <H1505> without <H3809> hands, <H3028> which smote <H4223> the image <H6755> upon <H5922> his feet <H7271> [that were] of iron <H6523> and clay, <H2635> and brake them <H1994> to pieces. <H1855>
35
Then <H0116> was the iron, <H6523> the clay, <H2635> the brass, <H5174> the silver, <H3702> and the gold, <H1722> broken to pieces <H1855> together, <H2298> and became <H1934> like the chaff <H5784> of <H4481> the summer <H7007> threshingfloors; <H0147> and the wind <H7308> carried them <H1994> away, <H5376> that no <H3809> <H3606> place <H0870> was found <H7912> for them: and the stone <H0069> that smote <H4223> the image <H6755> became <H1934> a great <H7229> mountain, <H2906> and filled <H4391> the whole <H3606> earth. <H0772>
36
This <H1836> [is] the dream; <H2493> and we will tell <H0560> the interpretation <H6591> thereof before <H6925> the king. <H4430>
37
Thou, <H0607> O king, <H4430> [art] a king <H4430> of kings: <H4430> for the God <H0426> of heaven <H8065> hath given <H3052> thee a kingdom, <H4437> power, <H2632> and strength, <H8632> and glory. <H3367>
38
And wheresoever <H3606> the children <H1123> of men <H0606> dwell, <H1753> the beasts <H2423> of the field <H1251> and the fowls <H5776> of the heaven <H8065> hath he given <H3052> into thine hand, <H3028> and hath made thee ruler <H7981> over them all. <H3606> Thou <H0607> [art] this head <H7217> of gold. <H1722>
39
And after <H0870> thee shall arise <H6966> another <H0317> kingdom <H4437> inferior <H0772> to thee, <H4481> and another <H0317> third <H8523> kingdom <H4437> of brass, <H5174> which shall bear rule <H7981> over all <H3606> the earth. <H0772>
40
And the fourth <H7244> kingdom <H4437> shall be <H1934> strong <H8624> as iron: <H6523> forasmuch as <H6903> <H3606> iron <H6523> breaketh in pieces <H1855> and subdueth <H2827> all <H3606> [things]: and as iron <H6523> that breaketh <H7490> all <H3606> these, <H0459> shall it break in pieces <H1855> and bruise. <H7490>
41
And whereas thou sawest <H2370> the feet <H7271> and toes, <H0677> part <H4481> of potters' <H6353> clay, <H2635> and part <H4481> of iron, <H6523> the kingdom <H4437> shall be <H1934> divided; <H6386> but there shall be <H1934> in it of <H4481> the strength <H5326> of the iron, <H6523> forasmuch as <H3606> <H6903> thou sawest <H2370> the iron <H6523> mixed <H6151> with miry <H2917> clay. <H2635>
42
And [as] the toes <H0677> of the feet <H7271> [were] part <H4481> of iron, <H6523> and part <H4481> of clay, <H2635> [so] the kingdom <H4437> shall be <H1934> partly <H4481> <H7118> strong, <H8624> and <H1934> partly <H4481> broken. <H8406>
43
And whereas <H1768> thou sawest <H2370> iron <H6523> mixed <H6151> with miry <H2917> clay, <H2635> they shall mingle themselves <H1934> <H6151> with the seed <H2234> of men: <H0606> but they shall not <H3809> cleave <H1934> <H1693> one <H1836> to <H5974> another, <H1836> even <H1888> as <H1768> iron <H6523> is not <H3809> mixed <H6151> with <H5974> clay. <H2635>
44
And in the days <H3118> of these <H0581> kings <H4430> shall the God <H0426> of heaven <H8065> set up <H6966> a kingdom, <H4437> which shall never <H5957> <H3809> be destroyed: <H2255> and the kingdom <H4437> shall not <H3809> be left <H7662> to other <H0321> people, <H5972> [but] it shall break in pieces <H1855> and consume <H5487> all <H3606> these <H0459> kingdoms, <H4437> and it <H1932> shall stand <H6966> for ever. <H5957>
45
Forasmuch as <H3606> <H6903> thou sawest <H2370> that the stone <H0069> was cut out <H1505> of the mountain <H2906> without <H3809> hands, <H3028> and that it brake in pieces <H1855> the iron, <H6523> the brass, <H5174> the clay, <H2635> the silver, <H3702> and the gold; <H1722> the great <H7229> God <H0426> hath made known <H3046> to the king <H4430> what <H4101> shall come to pass <H1934> hereafter: <H0311> <H1836> and the dream <H2493> [is] certain, <H3330> and the interpretation <H6591> thereof sure. <H0540>
46
Then <H0116> the king <H4430> Nebuchadnezzar <H5020> fell <H5308> upon <H5922> his face, <H0600> and worshipped <H5457> Daniel, <H1841> and commanded <H0560> that they should offer <H5260> an oblation <H4504> and sweet odours <H5208> unto him.
47
The king <H4430> answered <H6032> unto Daniel, <H1841> and said, <H0560> Of <H4481> a truth <H7187> [it is], that <H1768> your God <H0426> [is] a God <H0426> of gods, <H0426> and a Lord <H4756> of kings, <H4430> and a revealer <H1541> of secrets, <H7328> seeing <H1768> thou couldest <H3202> reveal <H1541> this <H1836> secret. <H7328>
48
Then <H0116> the king <H4430> made Daniel <H1841> a great man, <H7236> and gave <H3052> him many <H7690> great <H7260> gifts, <H4978> and made him ruler <H7981> over <H5922> the whole <H3606> province <H4083> of Babylon, <H0895> and chief <H7229> of the governors <H5460> over <H5922> all <H3606> the wise <H2445> [men] of Babylon. <H0895>
49
Then Daniel <H1841> requested <H1156> of <H4481> the king, <H4430> and he set <H4483> Shadrach, <H7715> Meshach, <H4336> and Abednego, <H5665> over <H5922> the affairs <H5673> of the province <H4083> of Babylon: <H0895> but Daniel <H1841> [sat] in the gate <H8651> of the king. <H4430>
