you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here.
Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst
of the fire.
003:027 The satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the
king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men,
that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair
of their head singed, neither were their pants changed,
nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
003:028 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God
of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel,
and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed
the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they
might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
003:029 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language,
which speak anything evil 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 who is able
to deliver after this sort.
003:030 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
in the province of Babylon.
004:001 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages,
who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
004:002 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that
the Most High God has worked toward me.
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.
004:004 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing
in my palace.
004:005 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed
and the visions of my head troubled me.
004:006 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon
before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation
of the dream.
004:007 Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans,
and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them;
but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.
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 I told the dream before him, [saying],
004:009 Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know
that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret
troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen,
and the interpretation of it.
004:010 Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold,
a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height of it was great.
004:011 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height of it reached
to the sky, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth.
