³⁶ This is the dream and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. ³⁷ You, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power and the strength and the glory. ³⁸ And wherever the sons of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, he has given into your hand and has made you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
³⁹ And after you will arise another kingdom inferior to you and another third kingdom of brass, which will bear rule over all the earth.
⁴⁰ And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush. ⁴¹ And in what you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom. But there will be of the strength of the iron in it, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay. ⁴² And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly broken. ⁴³ And in what you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they will not cling one to another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it will stand forever.
⁴⁵ Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. And the dream is certain and the interpretation of it sure.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, do not let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate you and the interpretation of it to your adversaries.
²⁰ The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, whose height reached to heaven and the sight of it to all the earth, ²¹ whose leaves were fine and the fruit of it much and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation, ²² it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. For your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven and your dominion to the end of the earth.
²³ And in what the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven and saying, Hew down the tree and destroy it. Nevertheless leave the stump of the roots of it 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.
²⁴ This is the interpretation, O king and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: ²⁵ That you will be driven from men and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. And you will be made to eat grass as oxen and will be wet with the dew of heaven.
And seven times will pass over you till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever he will.
²⁶ And in what they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be sure to you, after you will have known that the heavens do rule.
²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you and break off your sins by righteousness and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, if there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.
²⁸ All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. ²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon. ³⁰ The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice from heaven fell, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from you. ³² And you will be driven from men and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. You will be made to eat grass as oxen and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever he will.
³³ The same hour the thing was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men and ate grass as oxen. And his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.

²⁶ Now while eating, Jesus, having taken the bread, and having given-thanks, broke it, and was giving it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

⁴ and all were drinking the same spiritual drink; for they were drinking from a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ.

And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. ²¹ And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand, ²² but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

²⁷ And it happened in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.

³ But you, O Jehovah, are a shield on my behalf, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.

³¹ And it happened in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him forth out of prison.

¹² Now therefore, I beseech you*, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you*, that you* also will deal kindly with my father's house and give me a true token,

¹⁴ And you will not only show me the loving kindness of Jehovah, while I yet live, that I not die, ¹⁵ but also you will not cut off your kindness from my house until everlasting. No, not when Jehovah has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

³¹ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah will have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

¹ And David said, Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

⁴² And he said, Jesus, remember me Lord, whenever you come in your kingdom.

⁸ But he refused and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is in the house with me and he has put all that he has into my hand. ⁹ He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
¹⁰ And it happened, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

¹¹ Moreover, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand, for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and killed you not. Know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt after my life to take it.

³ Because behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah. ⁴ They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake to help me and behold.
