¹⁰ For Jehovah poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and he will close your eyes: the prophets and your heads, the seeing he covered. ¹¹ And the vision of all will be to you as the words of the book being sealed, which they shall give to him, to him knowing writing, saying, Read now, this: and he said, I shall not be able, for it was sealed. ¹² And the book was given to him not knowing writing, saying, Read now, this: and he said, I know not writing.

¹⁰ Now will I rise, Jehovah will say; now will I be exalted; now will I be lifted up.

³ Strengthen the relaxed hands and make firm the feeble knees.

¹⁹ And he gave their gods into fire; for they were not God but the work of man's hands, wood and stone: and they will destroy them.

²³ Whom didst thou reproach and revile, and against whom didst thou raise up the voice, and wilt thou lift up thine eyes on high to the Holy One of Israel?

¹⁹ The artificer cast the carved image, and the founder will spread it out with gold, and he smelted chains of silver. ²⁰ And he being poor of oblation will choose wood that will not be rotten; he will seek to him a wise artificer to prepare a carved image that will not shake.

⁵ Thus said God Jehovah, creating the heavens and stretching them out; and spreading out the earth and its productions; giving breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those going upon it:

⁸ I Jehovah, this my name: and my glory I will not give to another, and my praise to carved images.

¹⁷ They were turned back, they will be ashamed with shame, trusting in the carved image, saying to the molten image, Thou our God.

²⁵ Bringing to naught the signs at vain boasters, and he will make those divining, foolish; turning back the wise backward, and he will frustrate their knowledge. ²⁶ Setting up the word of his servant, and he will complete the cousnel of his messengers; saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be dwelt in; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and will raise up her wastes:

¹ Thus said Jehovah to his Messiah, to Cyrus whom I held by his right hand to bring down nations before him; and I will loosen the loins of kings to open before him the doors; and the gates shall not be shut ² I will go before thee, and I will make straight the circles: I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and I will cut down the bars of iron:

⁶ Squandering gold out of the bag and they will weigh silver in the balance, they will hire a founder, and he will make it a god: they will fall down, they will also worship ⁷ They will lift him up upon the shoulder, they will carry him, they will set him down in his place and he will stand; from his place he shall not depart: also he will cry out to him and he will not answer; he will not save him from his straits

¹ Come down and sit upon the dust, thou virgin daughter of Babel, sit upon the earth: no throne, thou daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt not be added for them to call thee tender and delicate.

¹ Come down and sit upon the dust, thou virgin daughter of Babel, sit upon the earth: no throne, thou daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt not be added for them to call thee tender and delicate. ² Take the two mill-stones and grind flour, and uncover thy veil; strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. ³ Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, also thy reproach shall be seen: I will take vengeance, I will not make peace with man. ⁴ Jehovah of armies redeemed us, his name the Holy One of Israel ⁵ Sit thou silently and go into darkness, thou daughter of the Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be added for them to call thee The mistress of kingdoms ⁶ I was angry against my people; I defiled my inheritances, and I will give them into thine hand, and thou didst not set mercy to them; upon the old thou didst make heavy thy yoke greatly. ⁷ And thou wilt say, I shall be mistress forever: till thou didst not set these upon thy heart, thou didst not remember its last part ⁸ And now hear this, thou living delicately, dwelling securely, saying in her heart, I, and none besides me; I shall not sit a widow, and I shall not know bereavement ⁹ And these two shall come to thee suddenly, in one day, bereavement and widowhood: as finished they came upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and in the great numbers of thy enchantments.

⁹ And these two shall come to thee suddenly, in one day, bereavement and widowhood: as finished they came upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and in the great numbers of thy enchantments. ¹⁰ And thou wilt trust in thy wickedness: thou saidst, None saw me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge it caused thee to turn away; and thou wilt say in thy heart, I, and none yet besides me. ¹¹ And evil came upon thee; thou shalt not know its dawn, and ruin shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to expiate it, and desolation shall suddenly come upon thee; thou shalt not know. ¹² Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries in which thou didst labor from thy youth; perhaps thou wilt be able to be of use, perhaps thou wilt cause fear.

¹² Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries in which thou didst labor from thy youth; perhaps thou wilt be able to be of use, perhaps thou wilt cause fear. ¹³ Thou wert wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Shall those searching out the heavens, those looking upon the stars, causing to know concerning the months, now stand and save thee from what shall come upon thee?

¹³ Thou wert wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Shall those searching out the heavens, those looking upon the stars, causing to know concerning the months, now stand and save thee from what shall come upon thee? ¹⁴ Behold, they were as straw; the fire burnt them; they shall not deliver their soul from the hand of the flame:. not a coal for warming, light to sit before it ¹⁵ Thus shall they be to thee for whom thou didst labor, thy merchants, from thy youth; they wandered a man to his other side; none saving thee.

²⁴ We heard its report: our hands were relaxed; straits held us, pain as of her bringing forth

³⁰ They called to them, Rejected silver, because Jehovah rejected them.

⁴ With gold and with silver they will beautify; with nails and with hammers they will make firm and it will not move. ⁵ They are of turned work, as the palm tree, and they shall not speak; being lifted up they shall be lifted up, for they shall not mount up. Ye shall not be afraid of them, for they will not do evil, and also doing good is not with them. ⁶ For none like thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and great thy name in strength. ⁷ Who shall not fear thee, thou king of the nations? for to thee he shall come: for among all the wise of the nations, and among all their kings, from none like thee. ⁸ And in one they will become brutish, and they will be foolish: the tree itself a correction of vanities. ⁹ Silver beaten out shall be brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and the hands of the founder: cerulean purple and red purple their clothing: they all are the work of the wise.

²³ I knew, O Jehovah, that not to man his way; not to man to go and set right his step.

¹⁸ Say to the king and to the mistress, Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory was brought down from your heads.

¹⁵ Thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, Behold me bringing to this city and upon all her cities all the evil which I spake against her, because they hardened their neck not to hear my word.

⁹ Behold me sending, and I took all the families of the north, says Jehovah, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant, and I brought them against this land and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and I devoted them to destruction, and I set them for a desolation and for a hissing, and for perpetual wastes. ¹⁰ And I destroyed from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of the two millstones and the light of the lamp. ¹¹ All this land was for a waste, for a desolation, and these nations served the king of Babel seventy years.

¹¹ All this land was for a waste, for a desolation, and these nations served the king of Babel seventy years. ¹² And it was when seventy years were filled up, I will review over the king of Babel and upon this nation, says Jehovah, their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, and I set it for eternal desolations

¹² And it was when seventy years were filled up, I will review over the king of Babel and upon this nation, says Jehovah, their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, and I set it for eternal desolations ¹³ And I brought upon this land all the words I spake against it, all being in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. ¹⁴ For many nations they also served upon them, and great kings: and I requited to them according to their work and according to the doings of their hands.

⁵ I made the earth, the man and the cattle which are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by mine arm stretched forth, and I gave it to whom was right in mine eyes. ⁶ And now I gave all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant; and also the beasts of the field gave I to him to serve him. ⁷ And all the nations served him, and his son, and his son's son, even till the time itself also of his land came: and many nations and great kings served upon him.

⁷ And all the nations served him, and his son, and his son's son, even till the time itself also of his land came: and many nations and great kings served upon him.

¹⁶ And to the priests and to all this people I spake, saying, Thus said Jehovah: Ye shall not hear to the words of your prophets prophesying to you, saying, Behold the vessels of the house of Jehovah being now turned back from Babel speedily: for they are prophesying a lie to you. ¹⁷ Ye shall not hear to them; serve ye the king of Babel, and live: wherefore shall this city be laid waste? ¹⁸ And if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, they shall now supplicate to Jehovah of armies for the vessels being left in the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king of Judah, in Jerusalem, not to go into Babel ¹⁹ For thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the remainder of the vessels being left in this city. ²⁰ Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel took them not in his carrying away captive Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babel, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem. ²¹ For thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, concerning the vessels being left in the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem: ²² They shall be brought to Babel, and there shall they be till the day of my reviewing them, says Jehovah; and I brought them up and turned them back to this place.

⁶ Ask ye now, and see if a male brought forth? wherefore did I see every man his hands upon his loins as she bringing forth, and all faces were turned to paleness?

¹⁸ Come down from thy glory, sit in thirst, thou daughter dwelling in Di-bon; for he laying Moab waste came up upon thee, destroying thy fortress.

¹ The word that Jehovah spake against Babel, against the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet ² Announce ye in the nations, and cause to be heard, and lift up a signal; cause to be heard, ye shall not hide: say, Babel was taken, Bel was ashamed, Merodach was broken; her images were ashamed, her blocks were broken. ³ For a nation came up from the north against her; it shall set her land for a desolation, and none shall be dwelling in her: from man and even to beast they moved, and they went ⁴ In those days and in that time, says Jehovah, the sons of Israel shall come, they and the sons of Judah together, going, and they wept: they shall go and shall seek Jehovah their God. ⁵ To Zion shall they ask the way, thither their faces: Come ye, and we will join ourselves to Jehovah an eternal covenant; it shall not be forgotten. ⁶ My people were lost sheep: their shepherds caused them to wander, they turned them away in the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their place to lie down. ⁷ All finding them consumed them: and their adversaries said, We shall not transgress, for they sinned against Jehovah the habitation of justice, and the hope of their fathers, Jehovah. ⁸ Move from the midst of Babel, and from the land of the Chaldeans; come forth and be ye as the he goats before the flock. ⁹ For behold I raise up and bring up against Babel a convocation of great nations from the land of the north: and they arranged against her; from thence she shall be taken: his arrow as of a strong destroyer shall not turn back in vain. ¹⁰ And Chaldea was for a spoil: all spoiling her shall be satisfied, says Jehovah. ¹¹ Because thou wilt be glad, because thou wilt exult, ye plundering mine inheritance, because thou wilt show off proudly as a heifer at grass, and thou wilt neigh as the strong ones; ¹² Your mother was greatly ashamed; she bearing you was put to shame: behold the last of the nations a desert, dryness and a sterile region. ¹³ From the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, and it was wholly a desolation: every one passing over Babel shall be astonished and shall hiss at all her blows. ¹⁴ Arrange yourselves against Babel round about: all ye bending the bow, cast at her, ye shall not spare to the arrow, for she sinned against Jehovah. ¹⁵ Shout against her round about: she gave her hand: her supports fell, her walls were pulled down: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah: avenge ye upon her; as she did, do ye to her. ¹⁶ Cut off him sowing from Babel, and him holding the sickle in time of harvest: from the face of the Grecian sword they shall turn a man to his people, and they shall flee a man to his land. ¹⁷ Israel a scattered sheep; the lions thrust away: first the king of Assur consumed him; and the last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel bound him fast ¹⁸ For this, thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, Behold me reviewing for the king of Babel, and for his land, as I reviewed to the king of Assur. ¹⁹ And I turned back Israel to his habitation, and he fed in Carmel and Bashan; and upon mount Ephraim and Gilead shall his soul be satisfied. ²⁰ In those days and in that time, says Jehovah, he will seek the iniquity of Israel, and not any; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I shall forgive to whom I shall leave. ²¹ Go up against the land of double rebellion, against her, and against the inhabitants of Pekod, laying waste and destroying after them, says Jehovah; and do according to all which I commanded thee. ²² The voice of war in the land, and a great breaking. ²³ How was the hammer of all the earth cut off, and it will be broken! How was Babel for a desolation among the nations! ²⁴ I laid snares for thee and also thou wert taken, O Babel, and thou knewest not: thou wert found and thou wert also taken, for thou didst contend against Jehovah. ²⁵ Jehovah opened his treasure, and he will bring forth the vessels of his anger: for this the work to the Lord Jehovah of armies in the land of the Chaldeans ²⁶ Come ye against her from the extremity; open her store-houses: cast her up as heaps and exterminate her: there shall be no remnant to her. ²⁷ Lay waste all her bullocks; come down to the slaughter: wo to them! for their day came, the time of their reviewing. ²⁸ The voice of those fleeing and escaping out of the land of Babel, to announce in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple. ²⁹ Cause ye many to be heard against Babel: all ye bending the bow encamp against her round about; there shall be no escaping: requite her according to her work; according to all she did, do to her: for she acted proudly against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.

²⁹ Cause ye many to be heard against Babel: all ye bending the bow encamp against her round about; there shall be no escaping: requite her according to her work; according to all she did, do to her: for she acted proudly against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ For this her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of her war shall be destroyed in that day, says Jehovah. ³¹ Behold me against thee, O pride, says the Lord Jehovah of armies: for thy day came, the time I reviewed thee. ³² And pride stumbled and fell, and none lifting up to it: and I kindled a fire in his cities and it shall consume all round about him. ³³ Thus said Jehovah of armies: the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah being oppressed together: and all taking them captive held upon them; they refused to send them away. ³⁴ He redeeming them is strong; Jehovah of armies, his name: pleading, he will plead their cause, so that he caused the land to rest, and caused disquiet to the inhabitants of Babel. ³⁵ A sword upon the Chaldeans, says Jehovah, and to the inhabitants of Babel and to her chiefs, and to her wise. ³⁶ A sword against the liars; and they were foolish: a sword against her strong ones, and they were broken. ³⁷ A sword against his horses and against his chariots, and against all the mixture which is in her midst; and they were for women: a sword against her treasures, and they were plundered. ³⁸ A sword upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: for it is a land of carved images, and in their terrors they will be foolish. ³⁹ For this the inhabitans of the deserts shall dwell with the islands, and the daughters of the ostrich shall dwell in her: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; and she shall not be dwelt in even to generation and generation. ⁴⁰ As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbors, says Jehovah; a man shall not dwell there, and the son of man shall not sojourn in her. ⁴¹ Behold, a people coming from the north and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the thighs of the earth. ⁴² They shall hold. the bow and the javelin: they are fierce, and they will not pity: their voice shall sound as the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, being arranged as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Babel. ⁴³ The king of Babel heard their report, and his hands were relaxed: anguish seized him as the pain of her bringing forth. ⁴⁴ Behold, as a lion he will come up from the excellency of Jordan to the habitation of strength: for I will wink; I will cause them to run away from her: and who the chosen I shall appoint to her? for who like me? and who shall arraign me? and who that shepherd who shall stand before me? ⁴⁵ For this, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah which he counseled against Babel; and his purposes which he purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: if the last of the flock shall not drag them out: if he shall not lay waste the habitation upon them. ⁴⁶ From the voice of the taking of Babel the earth was shaken, and the cry was heard among the nations.

¹¹ Polish the arrows; fill the quivers: Jehovah roused up the spirit of the kings of the Males: for his purpose is against Babel, to destroy her; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.

³¹ A runner shall run to meet a runner, and he announcing, to meet him announcing, to announce to the king of Babel that his city was taken from the extremity.

³⁹ In their heat I will set their drinkings, and I made them drunken so that they shall exult, and sleep an eternal sleep, and they shall not rouse up, says Jehovah.

⁵⁷ And I made drunk her chiefs and her wise, her prefects and her rulers, and her strong ones: and they shall sleep an eternal sleep, and they shall not rise up, says the King, Jehovah of armies his name.

¹⁹ And the basins and the fire-pans and the vases and the pots and the chandeliers, and the dishes and the cups, which were of gold, gold, and which of silver, silver, the chief of the cooks took.

³⁵ To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the Most High.

³⁸ From the mouth of the Most High shall not come forth evil and good.

¹⁷ All hands shall be relaxed, and all knees shall go into water.

¹¹ And I shall deck thee with ornaments, and I shall give bracelets upon thy hands and a chain upon thy throat

²⁴ And all the trees of the field knew that I Jehovah brought low the tree of height, made high the low tree, I dried up the green tree, and I caused the dry tree to flourish: I Jehovah spake and I did.

⁷ And it was when they shall say to thee, For what sighest thou? and say, For the report, because it came: and every heart melted and all hands were relaxed, and every spirit was weak, and all knees shall go into water: behold, it came, and it was, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel became to me for dross: all they brass and alloy, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they were drosses of silver. ¹⁹ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: because all of them were for drosses, for this, behold me gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem. ²⁰ The gathering silver and brass and iron and lead and alloy to the midst of the furnace to blow the fire upon it, to melt; so will I gather in mine anger and in my wrath, and I put down and melted you.

² Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart was lifted up, and thou wilt say, I am God, I sat upon the seat of God in the heart of the seas; and thou art man and not God, and thou wilt give thy heart as the heart of God.

⁵ By the multitude of thy wisdom, by thy traffic thou didst multiply thy wealth, and thine heart will be lifted up in thy wealth.

¹⁷ Thine heart was lifted up with thy beauty, thou didst corrupt thy wisdom on account of thy splendor: I cast thee upon the earth, I gave thee before kings to look upon thee.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah: and they upholding Egypt fell,, and the pride of her strength came down: from the tower Seveneh shall they fall in her by the sword, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁰ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou wert lifted up in height, and he will give his foliage between the thick boughs, and his heart was lifted up in his height;

² And Jehovah will give Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, and from the number of vessels of the house of God: and he will bring them to the land of Shinar the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.

⁷ And the chief of the eunuchs will set names to them: to David, Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, Shadrach; and to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

²¹ And Daniel will be even to one year to Cyrus the king.

¹ And in the second year to the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit will be moved, and his sleep was broken upon him. ² And the king will say to call to the sacred scribes, and to the enchanters, and to the sorcerers, and to the Chaldeans, to announce to the king his dreams. And they will come and stand before the king. ³ And the king will say to them, I dreamed a dream, and my spirit will be moved to know the dream. ⁴ And the Ohaldeans will speak to the king Syriac: O king, live forever: say to thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

⁴ And the Ohaldeans will speak to the king Syriac: O king, live forever: say to thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. ⁵ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word went out from me: if ye will not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, ye shall be made pieces, and your houses shall be set dung-hills. ⁶ And if ye shall show the dream and its interpretation, ye shall receive from before me a gift and present, and great honor: therefore shove me the dream and its interpretation.

⁶ And if ye shall show the dream and its interpretation, ye shall receive from before me a gift and present, and great honor: therefore shove me the dream and its interpretation. ⁷ They answered a second time, and said, The king will say to his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation. ⁸ And the king answered and said, Certainly I know that ye buy the time, for which cause that ye saw that the word went out from me. ⁹ Enough if ye will not make known to me the dream, this one edict for you; and ye divided out the word of falsehood and this corruption to say before me, till that the time shall change: therefore say to me the dream and I shall know that ye will show me its interpretation. ¹⁰ The Chaldean answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the dry land that shall be able to show the king's word: for which cause that every king, leader, and ruler, asked not a word like this to any sacred scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean. ¹¹ And the word the king asked will be made rare, and there is not another that will show it before the king except the gods that their dwelling is not with flesh.

¹¹ And the word the king asked will be made rare, and there is not another that will show it before the king except the gods that their dwelling is not with flesh. ¹² For this cause the king was in dignant and greatly angry, and he spake to destroy to all the wise of Babel. ¹³ And the edict went forth and the wise men being killed; and they sought Daniel and his associates to be killed.

²⁵ Then with haste Arioch brought up for Daniel before the king, and said thus to him, That I found a man from the sons of the captivity of Judah that will make known to the king the interpretation.

²⁷ Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret that the, king asked, not the wise men, the enchanters, the sacred scribes, the diviners, shall be able to show to the king;

³⁷ Thou, O king, a king of kings: for the God of the heavens gave to thee a kingdom strong and powerful, and splendid. ³⁸ And in all that the sons of men dwelt, the beasts of the open field and the birds of the heavens he gave into thine hand, and gave thee power over them all Thou this head of gold.

⁴⁷ And the king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth that your God he is God of gods, and Lord of kings, and revealing secrets, that thou wert able to reveal this secret ⁴⁸ Then the king multiplied to Daniel, and gave to him many a great gift, and gave him power over all the province of Babel, and chief of the prefects over all the wise of Babel

⁴⁸ Then the king multiplied to Daniel, and gave to him many a great gift, and gave him power over all the province of Babel, and chief of the prefects over all the wise of Babel

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold; its height sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits: he set it up in the valley of Dura, in the province of Babel. ² And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together to the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the chief judges, the treasurers, those skilled in law, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the provinces, to the drinking to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king set up. ³ At that time there being gathered together the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the chief judges, the treasurers, those skilled in law, the lawyers and all the rulers of the provinces, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king set up; and standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar set up. ⁴ And a herald called with strength, To you they say, O peoples, nations, and tongues,

⁴ And a herald called with strength, To you they say, O peoples, nations, and tongues, ⁵ In the time ye shall hear the voice of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the lyre, the psaltery, the bagpipe, and all sorts of music, ye shall fall and prostrate. yourselves to the image of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king set up. ⁶ And whoever shall not fall and prostrate himself in the same moment, he shall be cast into a furnace of flaming fire.

⁶ And whoever shall not fall and prostrate himself in the same moment, he shall be cast into a furnace of flaming fire. ⁷ For this cause in that time that all peoples heard the voice of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the lyre, the psaltery, and all sorts of music, all peoples, nations, and tongues, fell prostrating themselves to the image of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king set up. ⁸ For this cause, at that time men of the Chaldeans drew near and ate up the Jews piece-meal. ⁹ They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live forever.

⁹ They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live forever. ¹⁰ Thou, O king, didst set an edict, that every man that shall hear the voice of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the lyre, the psaltery and the bagpipe, and all sorts of music, shall fall and prostrate himself to the image of gold: ¹¹ And whoever shall not fall and prostrate himself shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of flaming fire. ¹² There are men, Jews, that thou didst appoint over the business of the province of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men set not an account to thee, O king: they served not to thy gods; and to the image of gold that thou didst set up they prostrated themselves not ¹³ At that time Nebuchadnezzar in anger and wrath, said to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then they brought these men before the king. ¹⁴ Nebuchadnemr answered and said to them, Is it on purpose O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego, ye not serving to my gods, and to the image of gold that I set up, ye not prostrating yourselves? ¹⁵ Now if ye being prepared that in the time that ye shall hear the voice of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the lyre, the psaltery, and the bagpipe, and all sorts of music, ye shall fall and prostrate yourselves to the image that I made; and if ye shall not prostrate yourselves in the same moment, ye shall be cast into the midst of the furnace of flaming fire; and who that God that shall deliver you from my hands? ¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego answered, and saying to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we need not to turn back to thee upon this word. ¹⁷ If it is, our God whom we served will be able to deliver us from the furnace of flaming fire, and from thy hand, O king, he will deliver us. ¹⁸ And if not, it shall be made known to thee, O king, that to thy gods we serve not, and to the image of gold that thou didst set up we will not prostrate ourselves: ¹⁹ In that time Nebuchadnezzar being filled with wrath, and the form of the visage was changed to him against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego: he answered and said to heat to the furnace one seven times above that it was seen to be heated. ²⁰ To the strong, the strong of strength that were in his army, he said to bind to Shadrach, Mesbach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the furnace of flaming fire. ²¹ Then these men were bound in their wide trowsers, their tunics, and their mantles, and their clothing, and were cast into the midst of the furnace of flaming fire.

²⁹ { And an edict being set from me, That every people, nation and tongue, that shall say an error against their God, of Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego, shall be made pieces, and his house shall be set a dung-hill, because that there is no other God that shall be able to deliver according to this.}

² The signs and wonders. that the most high God made with me, it was pleasant before me to show.

⁵ I saw a dream, and it will terrify me; and the conceptions upon my bed and the visions of my head, will cause me to tremble. ⁶ And an edict being set from me to bring up before me to all the wise of Babel, that they shall make known to me the interpretation of the dream. ⁷ At that time the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners, coming in: and I told the dream before them: and its interpretation they making not known to me.

⁷ At that time the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners, coming in: and I told the dream before them: and its interpretation they making not known to me. ⁸ And even at last Daniel came up before me, whose name Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods in him: and before him I told the dream:

⁸ And even at last Daniel came up before me, whose name Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods in him: and before him I told the dream: ⁹ O Belteshazzar, leader of the sacred scribes, for I knew that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and my secret pressed not upon thee; the visions of my dream that I saw, and its interpretation, say thou.

¹⁴ He called with strength, and thus he said, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit: the beasts shall flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

¹⁷ The word by the decree of the watchers, and the saying of the holy ones is the question: for the reason that the living shall know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it, and he will raise up over it the low of men. ¹⁸ This dream, I king Nebuchadnezzar saw. And thou Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise of my kingdom not being able to make known to me the interpretation: and thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. ¹⁹ Then Daniel, his name Belteshazzar, was astonished for one moment, and his thoughts terrified him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, the dream and its interpretation shall not terrify thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream to those hating thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies.

²² It is thou, O king, who increased and wert strong: and thy greatness increased and reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

²² It is thou, O king, who increased and wert strong: and thy greatness increased and reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. ²³ And that the king saw a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens, and said, Hew down the tree and destroy it; but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass in the tender grass of the open field; and with the dew of the heavens it shall be wet, and with the beasts of the open field its portion, even till seven times shall pass over him; ²⁴ This the interpretation, O king, and this the decree of the Most High, that came upon my lord the king: ²⁵ And for thee driving from men, and with the beasts of the open field to be thy dwelling, and they shall feed to thee grass as oxen, and wetting to thee from the dew of the heavens, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it

²⁵ And for thee driving from men, and with the beasts of the open field to be thy dwelling, and they shall feed to thee grass as oxen, and wetting to thee from the dew of the heavens, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it

³⁰ The king answered and said, Is not this great Babel, that I built it for the house of the kingdom by the strength of my power, and for the honor of my majesty? ³¹ Yet the word in the king's mouth, a voice from the heavens fell to thee, being said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom passed away from thee:

³¹ Yet the word in the king's mouth, a voice from the heavens fell to thee, being said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom passed away from thee: ³² And from men driving thee out, and with beasts of the open field thy dwelling: and they shall feed to thee the grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom he will, he will give it

³² And from men driving thee out, and with beasts of the open field thy dwelling: and they shall feed to thee the grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom he will, he will give it ³³ In the same moment the word was added upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven out from men, and he shall eat the green herb as oxen, and from the dew of the heavens his body shall be wet till that his hair was increased as eagles, and his nails as birds'.

³³ In the same moment the word was added upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven out from men, and he shall eat the green herb as oxen, and from the dew of the heavens his body shall be wet till that his hair was increased as eagles, and his nails as birds'.

³⁵ And all the generations of the earth being reckoned as nothing: and doing according to his station in the army of the heavens, and the generations of the earth: and there is none that shall strike upon his hand, and say to him, What didst thou?

³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor to the king of the heavens, that all his works are truth, and his paths judgment: and that they going about in pride, he being able to bring low.

¹ Belshazzar the king made great food for a thousand of his nobles, and before the thousand he drank wine. ² Belshazzar said, in tasting the wine, to bring in for the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father brought forth from the temple that was in Jerusalem; and in them the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, will drink.

² Belshazzar said, in tasting the wine, to bring in for the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father brought forth from the temple that was in Jerusalem; and in them the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, will drink. ³ At that time they brought the vessels of gold that were brought forth from the temple of the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and in them they drank, the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines. ⁴ They drank wine, and praised to the gods of gold and silver, brass, iron, wood and stone.

⁴ They drank wine, and praised to the gods of gold and silver, brass, iron, wood and stone. ⁵ In the same moment went forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote before the candlestick upon the lime of the wall of the temple of the king: and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote. ⁶ The king's brightnesses changing, and his thoughts will terrify him, and the knots of his loins breaking forth, and his knees knocked this upon that ⁷ The king called with strength to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans and the diviners. The king answered and said to the wise of Babel, Whatever man that shall read this writing, and will show to me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and shall rule the third in the kingdom.

The king answered and said to the wise of Babel, Whatever man that shall read this writing, and will show to me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and shall rule the third in the kingdom. ⁸ Then came in all the king's wise ones: and they were not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king.

⁸ Then came in all the king's wise ones: and they were not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king. ⁹ Then king Belshazzar being greatly terrified, and his brightnesses being changed upon him, and his nobles being perplexed. ¹⁰ The queen, on account of the king's words and his nobles', came in to the house of drinking: the queen answered and said, O king, live forever: thy thought shall not terrify thee, and thy brightnesses shall not be changed: ¹¹ There is a man in thy kingdom that the spirit of the holy gods in him; and in the days of thy father, his light and his understanding and wisdom according to the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king thy father, set him up leader of the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, the diviners:

¹¹ There is a man in thy kingdom that the spirit of the holy gods in him; and in the days of thy father, his light and his understanding and wisdom according to the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king thy father, set him up leader of the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, the diviners: ¹² Because that an excellent spirit and knowledge, and his understanding interpreting dreams, and showing of enigmas, and solving knotty questions, was found in him, in Daniel whom the king set his name Belteshazzar: now Daniel shall be called, and he will show the interpretation. ¹³ At that time Daniel came in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, Is it thou, Daniel, which is from the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah? ¹⁴ I heard concerning thee that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and his light and his understanding and excellent wisdom was found in thee. ¹⁵ And now the wise ones, the enchanters, were brought in before me that they shall read this writing, and to make known to me its interpretation: and they were not able to show the interpretation of the word: ¹⁶ And I heard concerning thee, that thou wilt be able to interpret interpretations, and solve knotty questions: now if thou shalt be able to read the writing, and to make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed in purple, and a necklace of gold upon thy neck, and thou shalt rule the third in the kingdom.

¹⁸ Thou, O king, God most high gave a kingdom and greatness and honor and splendor to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:

²³ And against the Lord of the heavens thou didst lift up thyself; and for the vessels of his house they brought before thee, and thou and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, drinking wine in them; and to the gods of silver and gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone, who see not, and hear not, and know not, thou didst praise: and to the God whom thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways to him, thou didst not honor. ²⁴ At that time from before him was sent the palm of the hand, and this writing written. ²⁵ And this the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL and PHARSIN. ²⁶ This the interpretation of the word: Mene; God numbered thy kingdom and completed it. ²⁷ Tekel; Thou shalt be weighed in the balances and be found wanting. ²⁸ Pharsin; Thy kingdom was divided, and it shall be given to the Medes and to Persia. ²⁹ At that time Belshazzar said, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and they cried out concerning him, for him to rule the third in the kingdom.

³¹ And Darius the Median received the kingdom, as the son of two and sixty years.

¹ It pleased before Darius and he set up over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, whom to be over all the kingdom; ² And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was one: that to them the satraps giving to them account, and the king not for him detriment ³ Then this Daniel excelling above the presidents and satraps because that an excellent spirit was in him; and the king doing to set him up over all the kingdom.

³ Then this Daniel excelling above the presidents and satraps because that an excellent spirit was in him; and the king doing to set him up over all the kingdom.

⁶ Then these presidents and satraps ran together with tumult to the king, and saying thus to him, O Darius the king, live thou forever.

¹³ At that time they answered, and saying before the king, That Daniel that is from the sons of the captivity of Judah set not up an account to thee, O king, and to the interdict that thou didst sign; and three times in the day he sought his requests.

²¹ Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever. ²² My God sent his messenger and shut the mouth of the lions, and they hurt me not, for the cause that innocence was found to me; and also before thee, O king, I did no hurt.

²⁸ And this Daniel was prospered in the kingdom of Darius, and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.

²⁸ Even to this the end of the word. I Daniel, my thoughts will greatly terrify me, and my brightness will be changed upon me: and I kept the word in my heart

¹ In the third year to the kingdom of Belshazzar the king a vision was seen to me, I Daniel, after that being seen to me in the beginning.

³ And I shall lift up mine eyes, and I shall see, and behold, one ram stood before the stream, and horns to him: and the horns high; and the one high above the second, and the high came up at the last. ⁴ And I saw the ram pushing the sea, and north and south; and all the beasts will not stand before him, and none delivering from his hand; and he did according to his will, and increased.

²⁰ The ram which thou sawest possessing horns, the kings of Media and Persia.

²⁷ And I Daniel was, and was sick days; and I shall rise and do the works of the king; and I shall be astonished at the sight, and none understanding.

¹ In one year to Darius son of Ahasuerus, from the seed of Media who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans. ² In one year to the kingdom, I Daniel understood by books the number of years which the word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah the prophet, to fill up for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.

⁸ And I was left alone, and I shall see this great sight, and strength was not left in me: and my honor was turned upon me into destruction, and I retained not strength.

⁸ And she knew not that I gave to her grain, and new wine, and new oil. and I multiplied silver to her, and gold they made for Baal. ⁹ For this I will turn back and take away my grain in its time, and my new wine in its appointment, and I took away my wool and my linen to cover her nakedness. ¹⁰ And now will I uncover her wickedness before the eyes of those loving her, and a man shall not deliver her from my hand. ¹¹ And I caused all her rejoicing to cease, her festival and her new moon, and her Sabbath and all her appointment ¹² And I destroyed her vine and her fig tree, of which she said, They are wages to me which those loving me gave to me: and I set them for a forest, and the beasts of the field ate them. ¹³ And I reviewed upon her the days of the Baals, which she will burn incense to them, and she will be decked with her earring and her necklace, and she will go after those loving her, and she forget me, says Jehovah.

¹⁰ For even to thorns surrounding them, and drinking to excess as drunkards, they shall be devoured as straw fully dried up.

¹⁰ She was emptied, and being emptied, and being made empty: and the heart melted, and a wavering of the knees, and trembling in all loins, and the face of them all gathered a glow.

⁴ Behold, his soul being inflated in him, was not straight: and the just one shall live by his faithfulness. ⁵ And also if a proud man transgressing by wine, and he will not rest; who enlarged his soul as hades, and he as death, and he will not be satisfied, and he will gather to him all nations, and he will collect to him all peoples.

¹⁸ What profited the carved image that he forming it carved it? the molten image and he teaching falsehood, that the former of his forming trusted upon it to make nothings being dumb? ¹⁹ Wo! to him saying to the wood, Awake; and to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach. Being overlaid with gold and silver, and not any spirit in its midst.

⁵¹ He has done strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart. ⁵² he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, be gladdened. ²⁰ And God said to him, O foolish one, this night they require thy soul from thee: and what thou hast prepared, to whom shall it be?

⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many.

¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

¹ And Jesus walked after these in Galilee: for he wished not to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

³ Then said his brethren to him, Go away thence, and retire to Judea, that also thy disciples might see thy works which thou doest.

¹⁷ If ye know these, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou hast no power against me, if it were not given thee from above: therefore he delivering me to thee has greater sin.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved; ¹⁰ Be it known to all you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this he stands before you whole. ¹¹ This is the stone set at nought by you building, he having been for the head of the corner. ¹² And salvation is in no other: for neither is another name given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved. ¹³ And seeing the freedom of speech of Peter and John, and comprehending that they are illiterate men, and private individuals, they wondered; and they knew them, that they were with Jesus.

²⁹ And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. ³¹ This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. ³² And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him. ³³ And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them.

⁴⁸ But the Highest dwells not in temples made by hands; as says the prophet,

¹⁸ And Simon having seen that by putting on of hands of the sent the Holy Spirit is given, he brought money to them,

²⁰ And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money.

²² And the people called aloud, The voice of God, and not of man.

²⁵ Nor is served by men's hands, standing in need of anything, he giving to all life, and breath, and all things.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race. ²⁹ Being therefore the posterity of God, we ought not to think gold, or silver, or stone, an engraving of art, or meditation of man, the divinity to be like.

²⁴ For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making the silver temples of Diana, furnished no little work to artificers; ²⁵ Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food. ²⁶ And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands: ²⁷ And not only this part is in danger to us to come to reproach; but also the temple of the great goddess Diana to be reckoned for nothing, and her greatness also about to be destroyed, whom the whole of Asia and the habitable globe worship. ²⁸ And having heard, and been filled with wrath, they cried, saying, Great the Diana of the Ephesians.

¹³ The middle of day, I saw in the way, O king, a light from heaven, above the brilliancy of the sun, having shone around me, and those going with me.

¹⁹ Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:

²¹ Wherefore having known God, not as God did they honour or return thanks; but were rendered vain in their conversations, and their heart without understanding was darkened. ²² Declaring themselves to be wise, they were fools, ²³ And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of creeping things, and of quadrupeds.

¹⁴ Having wiped out the handwriting against us in enactments, which was opposed to us, and he has taken it from the midst, having nailed it to his cross

¹⁷ Therefore to him knowing to do good, and not doing, to him it is sin.

¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is of life: and the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave the dead in it; and death and hades gave the dead in them: and they were judged each one according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
