\par }{\MT Daniel

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
the
rule
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
Nebuchadnezzar,
king
of
Babylon,
came
to
Jerusalem, shutting
it
in
with
his
forces.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
gave
into
his
hands
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
with
some
of
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God;
and
he
took
them
away
into
the
land
of
Shinar
to
the
house
of
his
god;
and
he
put
the
vessels
into
the store-house
of
his
god.
\VS{3}And
the
king
gave
orders
to
Ashpenaz,
the
captain
of
his unsexed servants,
to
take
in
some
of
the
children
of
Israel, certain
of
the king's
family,
and
those
of high birth;
\VS{4}Young
men
who
were
strong
and healthy,
good-looking,
and
trained
in
all
wisdom,
having
a
good education
and
much
knowledge,
and able
to
take positions
in
the king's house;
and
to
have
them
trained
in
the writing
and
language
of
the Chaldaeans.
\VS{5}And
a regular amount
of
food
and
wine
every
day
from
the king's
table
was ordered
for
them
by
the
king;
and
they
were
to
be cared
for
for
three
years
so
that
at
the
end
of
that
time
they might
take
their places
before
the
king.
\VS{6}And among these
there
were,
of
the
children
of
Judah,
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah.
\VS{7}And
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants
gave
them
names;
to
Daniel
he
gave
the
name
of
Belteshazzar,
to
Hananiah
the
name
of
Shadrach,
to
Mishael
the
name
of
Meshach,
and
to
Azariah
the
name
of
Abed-nego.
\VS{8}And
Daniel
had come
to
the decision
that
he
would
not
make
himself
unclean
with
the king's
food
or
wine;
so
he
made
a
request
to
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants
that
he
might
not
make
himself
unclean.
\VS{9}And
God
put
into
the heart
of
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants kind feelings
and pity
for
Daniel.
\VS{10}And
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants
said
to
Daniel,
I
am
in
fear
of
my
lord
the
king,
who
has given
orders
about
your
food
and
your
drink;
what
if
he
sees
you
looking less happy
than
the other
young
men
of
your generation?
then
you
would
have put
my
head
in danger
from
the
king.
\VS{11}Then
Daniel
said
to
the keeper
in
whose
care
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants
had put
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah:
\VS{12}Put
your
servants
to
the
test
for
ten
days;
let
them
give
us grain
for
our
food
and
water
for
our
drink.
\VS{13}Then
take
a
look
at
our
faces
and
the
faces
of
the
young
men
who
have
food
from
the king's
table;
and,
having
seen
them,
do
to
your
servants
as
it seems right
to
you.
\VS{14}So
he
gave ear
to
them
in
this
thing
and
put
them
to
the
test
for
ten
days.
\VS{15}And
at
the
end
of
ten
days
their faces
seemed fairer
and
they
were fatter
in
flesh
than
all
the
young
men
who
had
their
food
from
the king's table.
\VS{16}So
the keeper regularly
took
away
their meat
and
the
wine
which
was
to
have
been
their
drink,
and
gave
them grain.
\VS{17}Now
as
for
these
four
young
men,
God
gave
them
knowledge
and
made
them expert
in
all book-learning
and
wisdom:
and
Daniel
was
wise
in
all
visions
and
dreams.
\VS{18}Now
at
the
end
of
the
time fixed
by
the
king
for
them
to
go
in,
the
captain
of
the unsexed servants
took
them
in
to
Nebuchadnezzar.
\VS{19}And
the
king
had
talk
with
them;
and
among
them
all
there
was
no
one
like
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah;
so
they
were given
places
before
the
king.
\VS{20}And
in
any
business needing
wisdom
and good sense,
about
which
the
king
put
questions
to
them,
he saw
that
they
were
ten
times
better
than
all
the wonder-workers
and users
of secret arts
in
all
his
kingdom.
\VS{21}And
Daniel
went
on
till
the
first
year
of
King
Cyrus.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
second
year
of
the
rule
of
Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchadnezzar
had
dreams;
and
his
spirit
was
troubled
and
his
sleep
went
from
him.
\VS{2}Then
the
king
gave
orders
that
the wonder-workers,
and
the users
of secret arts,
and those
who
made use
of evil powers,
and
the Chaldaeans,
were
to
be
sent
for
to
make clear
to
the
king
his
dreams.
So
they
came
and
took
their
places
before
the
king.
\VS{3}And
the
king
said
to
them,
I
have
had
a
dream,
and
my
spirit
is
troubled
by
the desire
to
have
the
dream
made clear
to
me.
\VS{4}Then
the Chaldaeans
said
to
the
king
in
the Aramaean language, O
King,
have life
for
ever:
give
your
servants an account
of
your
dream,
and we
will make clear
to
you
the sense
of
it.
\VS{5}The
king
made answer
and
said
to
the Chaldaeans,
This
is my decision:
if
you
do
not
make clear
to me
the
dream
and
the sense
of
it,
you
will be cut
in bits
and your
houses
made waste.
\VS{6}But
if
you make clear
the
dream
and
the sense
of
it,
you will have
from
me offerings
and
rewards
and
great honour:
so make clear
to
me
the
dream
and
the sense
of
it.
\VS{7}A
second
time they
said
in answer, Let
the
king give his
servants an account
of his
dream,
and we
will make clear
the sense.
\VS{8}The
king
made answer
and
said,
I am certain
that
you
are attempting
to get
more
time,
because
you
see
that
my decision
is fixed;
\VS{9}That
if
you do
not
make
my
dream clear
to
me
there
is only
one fate
for
you:
for
you have
made ready
false
and evil
words
to
say
before
me till
the
times
are
changed:
so give
me an account
of
the
dream,
and
I
will be certain
that
you
are able
to
make
the sense
of
it clear.
\VS{10}Then
the Chaldaeans
said
to
the
king
in answer,
There
is
not
a
man
on
earth
able
to make clear
the king's business;
for
no
king, however
great
his power,
has ever made
such
a request
to
any wonder-worker
or user
of
secret arts
or Chaldaean.
\VS{11}The king's request
is a very hard
one,
and
there
is
no
other
who
is able
to make
it clear
to
the
king,
but
the
gods,
whose living-place
is
not
with
flesh.
\VS{12}Because
of
this
the
king
was
angry
and full
of wrath,
and
gave
orders
for
the destruction
of
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{13}So
the order
went out that
the
wise
men were
to be put
to death;
and they were looking
for
Daniel
and
his
friends
to put them
to death.
\VS{14}Then
Daniel gave an answer
with wisdom
and good sense
to
Arioch,
the
captain
of
the king's armed
men,
who
had
gone out
to put
to death
the
wise
men
of
Babylon;
\VS{15}He
made answer
and
said
to
Arioch, O captain
of
the
king,
why
is
the king's order
so cruel?
Then
Arioch
gave
Daniel an
account
of
the business.
\VS{16}And
Daniel
went
in
and
made
a
request
to
the
king
to
give
him
time
and
he would make clear
the sense
of
his dream
to
the
king.
\VS{17}And
Daniel
went
to
his
house
and gave
his
friends
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah
the news:
\VS{18}So
that
they might make
a
request
for
the mercy
of
the
God
of
heaven
in
the question
of
this secret;
so
that
Daniel
and
his
friends might
not come
to destruction
with
the
rest
of
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{19}Then
the secret
was made clear
to
Daniel
in
a
vision
of
the
night.
And
Daniel gave blessing
to
the
God
of
heaven.
\VS{20}And
Daniel
said
in answer, May
the
name
of
God
be
praised
for
ever
and
ever:
for
wisdom
and strength
are
his:
\VS{21}By
him
times
and years
are
changed: by
him
kings
are
taken
away
and
kings
are lifted up:
he
gives
wisdom
to
the
wise,
and
knowledge
to those whose minds
are awake:
\VS{22}He
is
the unveiler
of
deep
and secret things:
he has knowledge
of
what
is in
the dark,
and
the light has
its living-place
with him.
\VS{23}I
give
you
praise
and worship, O
God
of
my
fathers,
who
have
given
me
wisdom
and strength,
and
have
now
made clear
to
me
what
we
were requesting
from
you:
for
you
have
given us knowledge
of
the king's business.
\VS{24}For
this reason
Daniel
went
to
Arioch,
to
whom
the
king
had
given
orders
for
the destruction
of
the
wise
men
of
Babylon,
and
said
to
him, Do not put
to death
the
wise
men
of
Babylon:
take
me
in
before
the
king
and
I
will make clear
to
him
the sense
of
the dream.
\VS{25}Then
Arioch
quickly took
Daniel
in
before
the
king,
and
said
to
him, Here
is
a
man
from among
the prisoners
of
Judah,
who
will
make clear
to
the
king
the sense
of
the dream.
\VS{26}The
king
made answer
and
said
to
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
Are
you
able
to
make clear
to me
the
dream
which
I
saw
and
its sense?
\VS{27}Then
Daniel
said
in answer
to
the
king,
No
wise
men,
or users
of secret arts,
or wonder-workers,
or readers
of signs,
are
able
to make clear
to
the
king
the secret
he
is searching
for;
\VS{28}But
there
is
a
God
in
heaven,
the unveiler
of secrets,
and
he
has given
to
King
Nebuchadnezzar knowledge
of
what
will
take
place
in
the last
days.
Your
dreams
and
the
visions
of
your
head
on
your
bed
are
these:
\VS{29}As
for
you, O
King,
the
thoughts
which came
to
you
on
your
bed
were
of
what
will come
about
after
this:
and
the unveiler
of secrets
has
made clear
to
you
what
is
to come.
\VS{30}As
for me,
this secret
is
not
made clear
to me
because
of
any
wisdom
which
I
have
more
than
any
living
man,
but
in order
that
the sense
of
the dream
may
be
made clear
to
the
king,
and
that
you
may
have knowledge
of
the
thoughts
of
your
heart.
\VS{31}You, O
King,
were
looking,
and
a
great
image
was there.
This
image, which
was
very
great,
and whose glory
was
very bright,
was placed
before
you: its form sent
fear into
the heart.
\VS{32}As
for
this
image, its
head
was made
of
the best
gold, its
breast
and its
arms
were
of
silver, its middle
and its sides
were
of brass,
\VS{33}Its
legs
of
iron,
its
feet
were
in
part
of
iron
and
in
part
of potter's earth.
\VS{34}While
you
were
looking at
it,
a
stone
was
cut
out,
but
not by
hands,
and
it gave
the
image
a blow
on its
feet,
which
were
of
iron
and earth,
and
they
were broken
in bits.
\VS{35}Then
the
iron
and
the
earth,
the brass
and
the
silver
and
the
gold,
were smashed together,
and
became like
the dust on
the
floors
where grain
is
crushed
in
summer;
and
the
wind took
them away
so
that
no sign
of
them
was
to
be seen:
and
the
stone
which gave
the
image
a blow
became
a
great
mountain, covering
all
the
earth.
\VS{36}This
is
the
dream;
and we
will make clear
to
the
king
the sense
of it.
\VS{37}You, O
King,
king
of
kings,
to
whom
the
God
of
heaven
has
given
the
kingdom,
the
power,
and
the
strength,
and
the
glory,
\VS{38}Wherever
the
children
of
men
are
living; into
whose
hands
he
has
given
the
beasts
of
the
field
and
the
birds
of
heaven,
and
has
made
you
ruler
over them
all,
you
are
the
head
of
gold.
\VS{39}And
after
you
another
kingdom, lower
than
you,
will come
to power;
and
a
third
kingdom,
of brass, ruling
over
all
the
earth.
\VS{40}And
the
fourth
kingdom
will
be
strong
as
iron:
because,
as
all
things
are broken
and overcome by
iron,
so it
will
have
the power
of crushing
and smashing down
all
the earth.
\VS{41}And
as
you
saw
the
feet
and
toes,
part
of potter's work
and
part
of
iron,
there
will
be
a division
in
the
kingdom;
but
there
will
be
some
of
the strength
of
iron
in it,
because
you
saw
the
iron
mixed
with
the potter's earth.
\VS{42}And
as the
toes
of the
feet
were
in
part
of
iron
and
in
part
of earth,
so
part
of the
kingdom will
be
strong
and
part
of it will readily
be broken.
\VS{43}And
as
you
saw
the
iron
mixed
with earth,
they
will give their daughters
to
one
another
as wives:
but
they
will
not
be united
one
with
another,
even
as
iron
is
not
mixed
with earth.
\VS{44}And
in
the
days
of
those
kings,
the
God
of
heaven
will
put up
a
kingdom
which
will never
come
to destruction,
and its power
will never
be given into
the hands
of
another
people,
and
all
these
kingdoms
will
be broken
and overcome by it,
but it
will keep its place
for
ever.
\VS{45}Because
you
saw
that
a
stone
was
cut
out
of
the
mountain
without
hands,
and
that by it
the
iron
and
the brass
and
the earth
and
the
silver
and
the
gold
were broken
to bits,
a
great
God
has given
the
king knowledge
of
what
is
to
take
place
in
the
future:
the
dream
is fixed,
and
its sense
is certain.
\VS{46}Then
King
Nebuchadnezzar, falling
down
on
his
face,
gave
worship
to
Daniel,
and
gave
orders
for an
offering
and spices
to be
given
to him;
\VS{47}And
the
king made answer
to
Daniel
and
said, Truly, your
God
is
a
God
of
gods
and
a
Lord
of
kings,
and an unveiler
of secrets,
for
you
have
been
able
to make
this secret clear.
\VS{48}Then
the
king
made
Daniel
great,
and
gave
him offerings
in
great number,
and
made
him
ruler
over
all
the land
of
Babylon,
and
chief
over
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{49}And at Daniel's
request,
the
king gave
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego authority
over
the business
of
the land
of
Babylon:
but
Daniel
was kept near
the king's person.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
made
an
image
of
gold,
sixty
cubits high
and
six
cubits
wide:
he put it up
in
the valley
of
Dura,
in
the land
of
Babylon.
\VS{2}And
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
sent
to get together
all
the captains,
the chiefs,
the
rulers,
the wise men,
the keepers
of public money,
the
judges,
the overseers,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the divisions
of
the country,
to
come
to see
the unveiling
of
the
image
which
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had put up.
\VS{3}Then
the captains,
the chiefs,
the
rulers,
the wise men,
the keepers
of public money,
the
judges,
the overseers,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the divisions
of
the country, came together
to see
the unveiling
of
the
image
which
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had put up;
and
they took
their places
before
the
image
which
Nebuchadnezzar
had put up.
\VS{4}Then one
of
the king's criers
said in a loud voice,
To you
the order
is
given, O
peoples,
nations,
and languages,
\VS{5}That
when
the sound
of
the
horn, pipe,
harp,
trigon,
psaltery,
bagpipe,
and
all sorts
of instruments, comes
to
your ears,
you
are
to go
down on
your faces
in
worship before
the
image
of
gold
which
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
has put up:
\VS{6}And anyone
not falling
down
and worshipping
will
that same hour
be put
into a burning
and flaming
fire.
\VS{7}So
at
that
time,
all
the
people,
when
the sound
of
the
horn, pipe,
harp,
trigon,
psaltery,
and
all sorts
of instruments,
came
to
their ears, went
down on
their faces
in
worship
before
the
image
of
gold
which
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had put up.
\VS{8}At
that
time
certain Chaldaeans
came
near
and made
a statement
against
the
Jews.
\VS{9}They made answer
and
said
to
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king, O
King,
have life
for
ever.
\VS{10}You, O
King,
have given an order
that
every
man,
when
the sound
of
the
horn, pipe,
harp,
trigon,
psaltery,
bagpipe,
and
all sorts
of instruments, comes
to
his ears,
is
to go
down
on
his face
in
worship before
the
image
of
gold:
\VS{11}And anyone
not falling
down
and worshipping
is
to be put
into a burning
and flaming
fire.
\VS{12}There
are
certain
Jews
whom
you
have put
over
the business
of
the land
of
Babylon,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego;
these
men
have
not given
attention
to
you, O
King:
they
are
not
servants
of
your
gods
or worshippers
of
the
gold
image
which
you
have put up.
\VS{13}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
in
his
wrath
and passion
gave
orders
for
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
to be sent
for.
Then
they made
these
men
come
in
before
the
king.
\VS{14}Nebuchadnezzar
made answer
and
said
to
them,
Is it
true, O
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
that
you
will
not
be
servants
of
my
god
or give
worship
to
the
image
of
gold
which
I
have put up?
\VS{15}Now
if
you
are
ready, on hearing
the sound
of
the
horn, pipe,
harp,
trigon,
psaltery,
bagpipe,
and
all sorts
of instruments,
to go
down on your faces
in
worship before
the
image
which
I
have
made,
it
is well:
but
if
you
will
not give
worship,
that same hour
you
will
be put
into
a burning
and flaming
fire;
and
what
god
is
there
who
will
be able
to take
you
out
of
my
hands?
\VS{16}Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, answering
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king,
said, There
is
no
need
for us
to
give
you an
answer
to
this question.
\VS{17}If our
God,
whose
servants
we
are,
is
able
to keep us safe
from
the burning
and flaming
fire,
and
from
your
hands, O
King,
he
will keep us safe.
\VS{18}But
if
not,
be certain, O
King,
that
we
will
not
be
the
servants
of
your
gods,
or give
worship
to
the
image
of
gold
which
you
have put up.
\VS{19}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
was full
of
wrath,
and
the form
of
his
face
was
changed
against
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego:
and
he
gave
orders
that
the fire
was
to be
heated up
seven
times
more
than
it
was generally
heated.
\VS{20}And
he
gave
orders
to
certain
strong
men
in
his
army
to put cords on
Shadrach,
Meshach
and
Abed-nego
and put
them
into
the burning
and flaming
fire.
\VS{21}Then
these
men had cords put round
them
as
they
were, in their
coats, their
trousers, their hats,
and their clothing,
and
were dropped
into
the burning
and flaming
fire.
\VS{22}And
because
the king's order
was not
to be put on
one side,
and
the
heat
of
the
fire
was
so great,
the
men
who took
up
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
were burned
to death
by
the
flame
of
the
fire.
\VS{23}And
these
three
men,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, with the cords about
them, went
down
into the burning
and flaming
fire.
\VS{24}Then
King
Nebuchadnezzar, full
of fear
and wonder, got
up
quickly,
and
said
to
his wise
men, Did
we
not put
three
men
in cords
into
the
fire?
and
they
made answer
and
said
to
the
king, True, O
King.
\VS{25}He made answer
and
said,
Look!
I
see
four
men loose,
walking
in
the middle
of
the
fire,
and
they
are
not damaged;
and
the form
of
the
fourth
is
like
a
son
of
the
gods.
\VS{26}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
came
near
the
door
of
the burning
and flaming
fire:
he made answer
and
said,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
you
servants
of
the
Most
High
God,
come out
and
come
here.
Then
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
came out
of
the
fire.
\VS{27}And
the captains,
the chiefs,
and
the rulers,
and
the king's wise
men
who
had come together,
saw
these
men,
over
whose
bodies
the
fire
had
no power,
and
not
a
hair
of their
heads
was burned,
and their coats
were
not
changed,
and
there
was
no
smell
of
fire about
them.
\VS{28}Nebuchadnezzar made answer
and
said, Praise
be
to
the
God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
who
has
sent
his
angel
and kept
his
servants safe
who
had faith
in
him,
and
who
put
the king's
word
on one side
and
gave up
their
bodies
to
the fire,
so
that
they might
not
be
servants
or worshippers
of
any
other
god
but
their
God.
\VS{29}And
it
is
my decision
that
any
people,
nation,
or
language
saying evil
against
the
God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
will
be cut
to bits
and
their
houses
made waste:
because
there
is
no
other
god
who
is
able
to
give salvation
such
as
this.
\VS{30}Then
the
king gave
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego even greater authority
in
the land
of
Babylon.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Nebuchadnezzar
the king, to all
the peoples, nations,
and languages living
in all
the earth: May
your peace
be increased.
\VS{2}It has seemed good
to
me
to make clear
the signs
and wonders which
the Most High God has done
with
me.
\VS{3}How great
are
his signs!
and how full
of power
are
his wonders!
his kingdom
is an eternal kingdom
and
his rule goes on
from generation
to generation.
\VS{4}I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest
in my place,
and all things
were going well
for
me
in my great house:
\VS{5}I saw
a
dream
which
was
a cause
of great fear
to
me;
I
was troubled
by
the images
of
my mind
on
my bed,
and
by
the visions
of
my head.
\VS{6}And
I
gave
orders
for
all
the wise men
of Babylon
to come
in before me
so
that
they might
make clear
to me
the sense
of
my
dream.
\VS{7}Then
the wonder-workers,
the users
of secret arts,
the Chaldaeans,
and
the readers
of signs came
in
to me:
and I put
the dream before them but they did not make clear
the sense
of
it
to me.
\VS{8}But at last Daniel
came in before me, he whose name
was Belteshazzar, after
the name of my god,
and in whom is
the spirit of
the holy gods:
and I put
the dream before him, saying,
\VS{9}O Belteshazzar, master
of
the wonder-workers,
because
I am certain that
the spirit
of
the holy gods is
in you,
and you are troubled
by no secret; this is
the dream which
I saw: make clear
to me
its sense.
\VS{10}On my
bed
I
saw
a
vision: there
was
a tree
in
the middle
of
the earth,
and
it
was very high.
\VS{11}And
the
tree became tall
and strong, stretching up
to heaven,
and
to be seen
from
the ends
of
the earth:
\VS{12}Its leaves
were fair
and it
had much fruit,
and
in it
was food enough
for all:
the
beasts
of
the
field
had shade under it,
and
the birds
of
heaven
were resting
in its branches,
and it gave food
to all living things.
\VS{13}In
the visions
of my head
on my bed
I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down
from heaven,
\VS{14}Crying out
with
a loud voice;
and this
is
what
he said: Let
the tree be cut down
and
its branches broken off; let
its leaves be taken off
and
its fruit sent
in every direction: let
the beasts get away
from under
it
and
the birds
from
its branches:
\VS{15}But keep
its broken end
and
its roots still
in
the earth,
even
with
a band
of iron
and brass; let him
have
the young grass
of
the field
for food,
and let him
be wet
with
the dew
of heaven,
and let
his part
be
with
the beasts.
\VS{16}Let
his heart
be changed
from
that
of
a man,
and
the heart
of
a beast
be
given
to him;
and let seven
times go by him.
\VS{17}This order
is fixed by
the watchers,
and
the decision
is by
the word
of
the holy ones:
so
that
the living may be certain
that
the Most High
is ruler over
the kingdom
of men,
and gives it
to
any man at
his pleasure, lifting up over it
the lowest
of men.
\VS{18}This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw;
and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear
the sense
of
it,
for
all
the wise men
of my kingdom are unable
to make
the sense
of
it clear
to me; but you are able,
for
the spirit
of
the holy gods is
in you.
\VS{19}Then Daniel,
whose name
was Belteshazzar,
was at a loss
for a time,
his thoughts troubling him.
The
king made answer
and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by
the dream
or by
the sense
of
it. Belteshazzar, answering, said,
My lord, may
the dream be about your haters,
and its sense about
those
who
are
against
you.
\VS{20}The
tree
which
you
saw,
which became tall
and strong, stretching up
to
heaven
and
seen
from
the ends
of
the
earth;
\VS{21}Which
had fair leaves
and much fruit,
and
had
in
it food
for all; under
which
the beasts
of
the field
were living,
and
in
the branches
of
which
the birds
of heaven
had their resting-places:
\VS{22}It
is
you, O King,
who
have become great
and strong:
for
your power
is increased
and stretching up
to
heaven,
and
your rule
to
the end
of
the earth.
\VS{23}And
as
for
the vision
which
the king saw
of a watcher, a holy one, coming down
from
heaven,
saying, Let
the
tree be cut down
and
given
to destruction;
\VS{24}This is
the sense
of
it, O
King,
and
it is
the decision
of
the Most High which
has come
on my lord
the
king:
\VS{25}That they
will send
you out from
among men,
to be
with
the beasts
of
the field; they
will give
you grass
for
your food like
the oxen,
and
you
will be wet
with
the dew
of heaven,
and seven times
will go by
you, till
you are certain
that
the Most High is ruler
in
the kingdom
of men,
and gives
it
to
any man at
his pleasure.
\VS{26}And
as
they gave orders
to let
the broken
end
and
the roots
of
the tree
be,
so
your
kingdom
will
be safe
for
you
after
it
is clear
to
you
that
the heavens
are ruling.
\VS{27}For
this cause, O
King, let
my suggestion be pleasing
to
you,
and let your sins be covered by righteousness
and your evil-doing by mercy
to
the poor,
so
that
the time
of your well-being may be longer.
\VS{28}All
this
came
to
King
Nebuchadnezzar.
\VS{29}At
the end
of twelve months
he
was walking
on
the roof
of
his great house
in Babylon.
\VS{30}The king made answer
and said,
Is
this not
great Babylon,
which
I have made
for
the living-place
of kings,
by
the strength
of
my power
and
for
the glory
of
my honour?
\VS{31}While
the word
was still
in
the king's mouth, a voice came down
from
heaven, saying, O King
Nebuchadnezzar,
to
you
it
is said:
The
kingdom
has gone
from
you:
\VS{32}And
they
will send
you
out
from among men,
to be
with
the beasts
of
the field;
they
will give
you grass
for your food like
the oxen,
and seven times
will go by
you, till
you
are certain
that
the Most High
is ruler
in
the kingdom
of men,
and gives it
to
any man at
his pleasure.
\VS{33}That very hour
the order
about Nebuchadnezzar
was put into effect:
and he
was sent out from
among men,
and had grass
for
his food like
the oxen,
and
his body
was wet
with
the dew
of heaven, till
his hair became long
as eagles' feathers
and
his nails like those
of birds.
\VS{34}And at
the end
of
the days,
I,
Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up
my eyes
to
heaven, got back
my reason,
and, blessing
the Most High,
I gave
praise
and honour
to him
who
is living
for ever,
whose rule
is an eternal rule
and
whose kingdom goes on
from generation
to generation.
\VS{35}And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?
\VS{36}At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.
\VS{37}Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Belshazzar
the
king
made
a
great
feast
for
a
thousand
of his lords,
drinking
wine
before
the
thousand.
\VS{2}Belshazzar, while
he
was overcome with
wine,
gave
orders
for
them
to put before
him
the
gold
and
silver
vessels
which
Nebuchadnezzar,
his
father,
had
taken
from
the
Temple
in
Jerusalem;
so
that
the
king
and
his lords,
his
wives
and
his other women,
might take their
drink
from
them.
\VS{3}Then
they
took
in
the
gold
and silver
vessels
which
had been
in
the
Temple
of
the
house
of
God
at
Jerusalem;
and
the
king
and
his lords,
his
wives
and
his other women,
took wine
from them.
\VS{4}They took their
wine
and gave
praise to
the
gods
of
gold
and
silver,
of brass
and
iron
and
wood
and
stone.
\VS{5}In
that very hour
the
fingers
of
a man's
hand
were
seen,
writing
opposite
the support
for
the light
on
the white
wall
of
the king's house,
and
the
king
saw
the part
of
the
hand
which
was
writing.
\VS{6}Then
the colour
went
from
the king's
face,
and
he
was
troubled by his
thoughts; strength
went
from his body,
and his knees
were shaking.
\VS{7}The
king, crying
out
with
a loud voice,
said
that
the users
of secret arts,
the Chaldaeans,
and
the readers
of signs,
were
to be sent
for.
The
king
made answer
and
said
to
the
wise
men
of
Babylon, Whoever
is able
to make
out
this
writing,
and make clear
to
me
the sense
of
it,
will be
clothed
in
purple
and
have
a chain
of
gold round
his
neck,
and
will be
a
ruler
of high
authority
in
the
kingdom.
\VS{8}Then
all
the king's
wise
men
came
in:
but
they were
not
able
to
make out
the
writing
or give
the sense
of it
to
the
king.
\VS{9}Then
King
Belshazzar
was
greatly
troubled
and
the colour went
from
his
face,
and
his lords
were at
a loss.
\VS{10}The
queen,
because
of
the
words
of
the
king
and
his lords,
came
into
the
house
of
the feast:
the
queen made answer
and
said, O
King,
have life
for
ever; do not
be
troubled by your
thoughts
or let
the colour go
from your
face:
\VS{11}There
is
a
man
in
your
kingdom
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
the
holy
gods;
and
in
the
days
of
your
father, light
and reason like
the
wisdom
of
the
gods
were seen
in
him:
and
King
Nebuchadnezzar,
your
father,
made
him master
of
the wonder-workers,
and
the users
of secret arts,
and
the Chaldaeans,
and
the readers
of signs;
\VS{12}Because
a most special
spirit,
and
knowledge
and
reason
and
the power
of reading
dreams
and unfolding dark sayings
and answering hard questions,
were seen
to
be
in him,
even
in
Daniel (named
Belteshazzar
by
the
king):
now
let
Daniel
be sent
for,
and
he
will
make clear
the sense
of
the writing.
\VS{13}Then
they took
Daniel
in
before
the
king;
the
king made answer
and
said
to
Daniel,
So
you
are
that
Daniel,
of
the prisoners
of
Judah,
whom
my
father took out
of
Judah.
\VS{14}And
I have
had news
of
you,
that
the
spirit
of
the
gods
is
in
you,
and
that light
and reason
and special
wisdom have been seen
in
you.
\VS{15}And
now
the
wise
men,
the users
of
secret arts, have been sent
in
before
me
for
the purpose
of reading
this
writing
and
making clear
to
me
the sense
of it:
but
they
are
not
able
to
make clear
the sense
of
the
thing:
\VS{16}And
I
have
had news
of
you,
that
you
have
the power
of
making things clear,
and
of answering hard questions:
now
if
you
are
able
to
make out
the
writing
and
give me
the sense
of
it,
you
will
be
clothed
in
purple
and
have a
gold chain round
your
neck
and
be a
ruler
of high
authority
in
the
kingdom.
\VS{17}Then
Daniel
made answer
and
said
to
the
king, Keep
your offerings
for yourself,
and
give
your
rewards
to
another;
but
I, after reading
the
writing
to
the
king,
will
give
him
the sense
of it.
\VS{18}As for
you, O
King,
the
Most
High
God
gave
to
Nebuchadnezzar,
your
father,
the
kingdom
and great power
and
glory
and honour:
\VS{19}And
because
of
the great power
he
gave
him,
all
peoples
and
nations
and languages
were shaking
in
fear
before
him:
some
he put
to death
and others
he
kept living, at
his pleasure, lifting
up
some
and putting others down
as it pleased
him.
\VS{20}But
when
his
heart
was
lifted up
and
his
spirit
became hard with pride,
he
was
put down
from
his place
as king,
and
they took
his
glory
from
him:
\VS{21}And
he
was sent out
from
among
the
sons
of
men;
and
his
heart
was
made
like
the beasts',
and
he
was living
with
the asses
of
the fields;
he
had
grass
for
his food
like
the oxen,
and
his
body
was wet
with
the
dew
of
heaven, till
he
was certain
that
the
Most
High
is
ruler
in
the
kingdom
of
men,
and gives power
over
it
to
anyone
at
his pleasure.
\VS{22}And
you,
his
son, O
Belshazzar, have
not kept
your
heart free
from pride,
though
you
had knowledge
of
all
this;
\VS{23}But
you have been lifting
yourself
up
against
the
Lord
of
heaven,
and
they have put
the
vessels
of
his
house
before
you,
and
you
and
your lords,
your
wives
and
your women, have taken
wine
in them;
and
you have given
praise
to
gods
of
silver
and
gold,
of brass
and
iron
and
wood
and
stone,
who
are
without
the
power
of
seeing
or hearing,
and
without knowledge:
and
to
the
God
in
whose
hand
your breath
is,
and
whose
are
all
your
ways,
you have
not given glory;
\VS{24}Then
the
part
of
the
hand
was
sent out
from
before
him,
and
this
writing
was recorded.
\VS{25}And
this
is
the
writing
which
was recorded,
Mene, tekel, peres.
\VS{26}This
is
the sense
of
the
words:
Mene;
your
kingdom
has been
numbered by
God
and ended.
\VS{27}Tekel; you have been put in the
scales
and seen to be under weight.
\VS{28}Peres;
your
kingdom
has been cut up
and
given
to
the
Medes
and
Persians.
\VS{29}Then, by
the order
of
Belshazzar,
they put
a
purple robe
on
Daniel,
and
a
gold chain round
his
neck,
and
a public statement
was made
that
he
was
to
be
a
ruler
of high
authority
in
the
kingdom.
\VS{30}That very
night
Belshazzar,
the
king
of
the Chaldaeans,
was put
to death.
\VS{31}And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Darius was pleased
to put over
the
kingdom a hundred
and twenty captains, who were
to be all through
the
kingdom;
\VS{2}And
over them
were three chief rulers,
of
whom Daniel
was one;
and
the captains
were
to
be responsible
to
the chief rulers,
so
that
the king might undergo no loss.
\VS{3}Then this
Daniel did
his work better
than
the chief rulers
and
the captains,
because
there
was
a special spirit
in
him;
and it
was
the king's purpose
to put
him
over all
the kingdom.
\VS{4}Then
the chief rulers
and
the captains
were looking
for some cause
for putting
Daniel
in
the wrong
in connection
with
the
kingdom,
but
they
were unable
to put forward
any wrongdoing
or error
against
him;
because
he
was true,
and no error
or wrong
was
to
be seen
in
him.
\VS{5}Then these men said,
We
will only get
a reason
for attacking
Daniel
in connection
with
the law
of
his God.
\VS{6}Then
these chief rulers
and
the captains came
to
the king
and
said
to him, O King Darius, have life
for ever.
\VS{7}All
the chief rulers
of
the kingdom,
the chiefs
and
the captains,
the wise men
and
the rulers,
have made
a common decision
to put
in force
a law having
the king's authority,
and
to give
a strong order,
that whoever makes any request
to any god
or man
but
you, O
King,
for thirty days,
is
to be put into
the lions' hole.
\VS{8}Now, O
King, put
the order
in force, signing
the writing
so
that it may not
be changed, like
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians
which may not come
to
an end.
\VS{9}For this reason
King Darius put
his name on
the
writing
and
the order.
\VS{10}And Daniel, on hearing
that
the
writing
had been
signed, went into
his house; (now he
had windows
in
his room on
the roof opening
in
the direction
of Jerusalem;)
and three times a day he went down on
his knees
in prayer
and praise
before
his God,
as he
had done
before.
\VS{11}Then
these men
were watching
and saw
Daniel
making prayers
and requesting grace
before
his
God.
\VS{12}Then
they
came near
before
the king
and said, O King, have you not put your name
to an order
that any
man who
makes
a
request
to any
god
or
man
but you, O King,
for thirty days,
is
to
be put into
the lions' hole?
The king
made answer
and said,
The thing
is fixed
by
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians which may not come
to an end.
\VS{13}Then
they
made answer
and
said
before
the
king, Daniel, one
of
the prisoners
of Judah,
has
no respect
for
you, O
King,
or
for
the order
signed
by
you,
but three times
a
day
he
makes
his prayer
to
God.
\VS{14}When this thing came
to
the king's ears,
it
was very evil
to
him,
and
his heart
was fixed
on keeping
Daniel safe,
and till
the going down
of
the sun
he
was doing everything
in
his power
to get
him free.
\VS{15}Then these men said
to
the
king,
Be certain, O
King,
that
by
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians no order
or law
which
the
king
has put into force may
be changed.
\VS{16}Then
the
king
gave
the order,
and
they took Daniel
and put
him into
the lions' hole.
The
king
made answer
and
said
to Daniel,
Your God,
whose servant
you
are
at
all times,
will keep
you safe.
\VS{17}Then
they got
a stone
and put
it over
the mouth
of
the hole,
and
it
was stamped
with
the king's stamp
and
with
the stamp
of
the lords,
so
that
the decision about
Daniel might not
be changed.
\VS{18}Then
the
king
went
to
his great house,
and took
no food
that night,
and
no ...
were placed before him,
and
his sleep
went
from him.
\VS{19}Then very early
in
the morning
the
king got
up
and
went quickly
to
the lions' hole.
\VS{20}And
when
he came near
the hole
where Daniel
was,
he gave
a loud cry
of grief;
the
king
made answer
and said
to Daniel, O Daniel, servant
of
the living God,
is your God,
whose servant
you
are
at all times, able
to keep
you safe
from
the
lions?
\VS{21}Then
Daniel
said
to
the
king, O
King,
have
life
for ever.
\VS{22}My God
has sent his angel
to keep
the lions' mouths shut,
and
they
have done me no damage: because
I
was seen
to be without sin before him;
and further, before you, O
King,
I
have done no wrong.
\VS{23}Then
the
king
was very glad,
and gave orders
for them
to take Daniel
up
out
of
the hole.
So Daniel
was taken
up
out
of
the hole
and
he
was seen
to
be untouched,
because
he
had faith
in
his
God.
\VS{24}And
at
the king's order,
they took
those men
who
had
said evil
against
Daniel,
and put
them
in
the lions' hole,
with
their wives
and
their children;
and
they
had
not got
to
the floor
of
the hole before
the lions overcame
them
and
all
their bones
were broken.
\VS{25}Then
King Darius sent
a letter
to
all
the peoples, nations,
and languages, living
in
all
the earth: May your peace be increased.
\VS{26}It
is
my order
that
in
all
the kingdom
of
which
I am ruler, men
are
to be shaking with fear before
the God
of Daniel:
for
he
is
the
living God, unchanging
for ever,
and
his kingdom
is one
which
will never come
to destruction,
his rule
will go on
to
the end.
\VS{27}He gives salvation
and makes men free
from danger,
and
does signs
and wonders
in heaven
and earth,
who
has
kept
Daniel safe
from
the power
of
the lions.
\VS{28}So this
Daniel did well
in
the kingdom
of Darius
and
in
the kingdom
of Cyrus
the Persian.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
first
year
of
Belshazzar,
king
of
Babylon,
Daniel
saw
a
dream,
and
visions came into
his
head
on
his
bed:
then
he put
the
dream
in
writing.
\VS{2}I
had
a
vision
by
night,
and
saw
the
four
winds
of
heaven violently moving
the
great
sea.
\VS{3}And
four
great
beasts came
up
from
the
sea,
different
one
from
another.
\VS{4}The
first
was like
a
lion
and
had eagle's
wings;
while
I
was
watching
its
wings
were pulled off,
and
it
was
lifted up
from
the
earth
and placed
on two
feet like
a
man,
and
a man's
heart
was
given
to
it.
\VS{5}And I saw
another
beast,
like
a
bear,
and
it
was lifted up on
one
side,
and
three side-bones
were
in
its
mouth,
between
its
teeth:
and
they
said
to
it, Up! take
much
flesh.
\VS{6}After
this
I
saw
another
beast,
like
a
leopard,
which
had
on its
back
four
wings
like
those
of
a
bird;
and
the
beast
had
four
heads,
and
the power
of
a ruler
was
given
to
it.
\VS{7}After
this,
in
my
vision
of
the
night,
I
saw
a
fourth
beast,
a thing causing
fear
and very troubling, full
of power
and very
strong;
and it
had
great
iron
teeth: it took
its food, crushing
some
of it
to bits
and stamping
down
the
rest with
its
feet: it
was
different
from
all
the
beasts
before it;
and it
had
ten
horns.
\VS{8}I
was
watching
the
horns with care,
and
I saw
another coming
up
among them,
a
little
one,
before which
three
of
the
first
horns
were
pulled
up
by
the
roots:
and there
were
eyes like
a man's
eyes in
this
horn,
and
a
mouth saying
great things.
\VS{9}I went
on
looking till
the seats
of kings
were placed,
and one
like
a very old man
took
his
seat:
his clothing
was
white
as
snow,
and
the
hair
of
his
head
was
like clean
wool;
his
seat
was
flames
of
fire
and its
wheels
burning
fire.
\VS{10}A stream
of
fire
was
flowing
and
coming out
from
before
him:
a
thousand
thousands
were
his servants,
and ten
thousand times ten
thousand
were
in their places
before
him:
the judge
was seated
and
the
books
were
open.
\VS{11}Then
I
saw —
because
of
the
voice
of
the
great
words
which
the
horn said —
I
saw till
the
beast
was put
to death,
and
its
body
was
given
to destruction,
and
the
beast
was
given
to
the
burning
of
fire.
\VS{12}As
for
the
rest
of
the
beasts, their
authority
was
taken
away: but they let them go
on
living
for
a measure
of
time.
\VS{13}I
saw in
visions
of
the
night,
and there
was
coming
with
the
clouds
of
heaven one like
a
man,
and he
came
to
the one who
was very
old,
and they took
him
near
before
him.
\VS{14}And
to
him
was
given
authority
and
glory
and a
kingdom;
and
all
peoples,
nations,
and languages
were
his
servants:
his
authority
is an eternal
authority
which
will
not
come
to an end,
and
his
kingdom
is one
which
will
not
come
to destruction.
\VS{15}As for me,
Daniel, my
spirit
was pained because
of this,
and the
visions
of my
head were troubling me.
\VS{16}I
came
near
to
one
of those who were waiting there, questioning
him
about
what
all
this
was.
And he
said
to me
that he would
make clear
to me
the sense
of
these
things.
\VS{17}These
great
beasts
are
four
kings
who
will be cut off
from
the
earth.
\VS{18}But
the
saints
of
the Most High
will take
the
kingdom,
and it
will be theirs
for
ever, even
for
ever
and
ever.
\VS{19}Then
it
was
my desire
to
have certain knowledge
about
the
fourth
beast,
which
was
different
from
all
the others,
a cause
of great
fear,
whose
teeth
were
of
iron
and
his
nails
of brass;
who took
his food, crushing
some
of
it
to bits
and stamping
on
the
rest
with
his
feet;
\VS{20}And
about
the
ten
horns
on
his
head
and
the other
which
came
up, causing
the
fall
of
three;
that
horn
which
had
eyes,
and a
mouth saying
great things,
which seemed
to be greater
than
the other
horns.
\VS{21}And I
saw how
that
horn
made
war on
the
saints
and overcame
them,
\VS{22}Till
he
came,
who
was very old,
and
the decision
was made
and
the authority
was
given
to
the
saints
of
the Most High;
and
the
time
came
when
the
saints
took
the
kingdom.
\VS{23}This
is
what
he
said:
The
fourth
beast
is
a
fourth
kingdom
which
will come on
earth,
different
from
all
the
kingdoms,
and
it
will overcome
all
the
earth, crushing
it
down
and smashing
it.
\VS{24}And
as
for
the
ten
horns, out
of
this
kingdom
ten
kings
will come
to power;
and
after them
another
will come up:
he
will be
different
from
the
first
ones
and
will put down
three
kings.
\VS{25}And he
will say
words
against
the
Most
High, attempting
to put an end
to
the
saints
of
the
Most
High;
and he
will have
the idea
of changing
times
and
law;
and
the
saints
will be
given into his
hands
for
a
time
and
times
and
half
a
time.
\VS{26}But
the judge
will
be seated,
and they
will put an
end
to his
authority,
to overcome it
and send complete destruction
on it.
\VS{27}And
the
kingdom
and
the
authority
and
the power
of
the
kingdoms
under
all
the
heaven
will be
given
to
the
people
of
the
saints
of
the Most High:
his
kingdom
is an eternal
kingdom,
and
all powers
will be
his
servants
and do
his pleasure.
\VS{28}Here
is
the
end
of
the
account.
As
for me,
Daniel,
I
was
greatly
troubled by
my
thoughts,
and
the colour went
from
my
face:
but
I
kept
the
thing
in
my heart.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
the
rule
of
Belshazzar
the
king,
a
vision
was
seen
by
me,
Daniel,
after
the
one
I
saw
at
first.
\VS{2}And
I
saw
in
the
vision;
and
when
I
saw
it,
I
was
in
the strong town Shushan,
which
is
in
the country
of
Elam;
and
in
the
vision
I
was
by
the water-door
of
the
Ulai.
\VS{3}And lifting
up
my
eyes,
I
saw,
there
before
the stream,
a male
sheep
with
two
horns:
and
the
two
horns
were
high,
but
one
was
higher
than
the
other,
the
higher
one
coming
up
last.
\VS{4}I
saw
the
sheep pushing
to
the
west
and
to
the
north
and
to
the
south;
and
no
beasts
were
able
to
keep
their
place
before
him,
and
no
one
was
able
to get
people
out
of
his
power;
but
he
did
whatever
his
pleasure
was
and
made
himself
great.
\VS{5}And
while
I
was giving
thought
to
this,
I
saw
a he-goat
coming
from
the
west
over
the
face
of
all
the
earth
without
touching
the
earth:
and
the he-goat
had
a great
horn
between
his
eyes.
\VS{6}And
he
came
to
the two-horned sheep
which
I
saw
before
the stream, rushing
at
him
in
the
heat
of
his
power.
\VS{7}And
I
saw
him
come right
up
to
the sheep,
and
he
was moved
with wrath
against
him,
attacking
the sheep
so
that
his
two
horns
were
broken;
and
the sheep
had
not
strength
to
keep
his
place
before
him,
but
was pushed
down
on
the
earth
and
crushed
under
his feet:
and
there
was
no
one
to
get
the sheep
out
of
his
power.
\VS{8}And
the he-goat
became
very
great:
and
when
he
was
strong,
the
great
horn
was
broken,
and
in
its
place
came
up
four other
horns turned
to
the
four
winds
of
heaven.
\VS{9}And
out
of
one
of
them
came
another
horn,
a little
one,
which
became very
great, stretching
to
the
south
and
to
the
east
and
to
the
beautiful land.
\VS{10}And
it
became
great,
even
as high
as
the
army
of
heaven, pulling
down
some
of
the
army,
even
of
the
stars,
to
the
earth
and crushing
them
under
its feet.
\VS{11}It
made
itself
great,
even
as
great
as
the lord
of
the
army;
and
by
it
the
regular burned
offering
was taken
away,
and
the
place overturned
and
the
holy
place
made waste.
\VS{12}...
against
the
regular burned offering;
and ... crushed
down
to
the
earth,
and
it
did
its pleasure
and things went well
for
it.
\VS{13}Then
there
came
to
my ears
the voice
of
a
holy
one
talking;
and
another
holy
one
said
to
that
certain
one
who
was
talking,
How
long
will
the
vision
be
while
the
regular burned
offering
is
taken away,
and
the unclean
thing
causing fear
is
put
up,
and
the
holy
place crushed under foot?
\VS{14}And
he
said
to
him,
For
two
thousand,
three
hundred
evenings
and
mornings;
then
the
holy
place
will be
made clean.
\VS{15}And
it
came
about
that
when
I,
Daniel,
had
seen
this
vision,
I
had
a
desire
for
the sense
of
it
to
be unfolded;
and
I
saw
one
before
me
in
the
form
of
a
man.
\VS{16}And
the
voice
of
a
man
came
to
my ears
between
the sides
of
the
Ulai,
crying
out
and
saying,
Gabriel,
make
the
vision clear
to
this
man.
\VS{17}So
he
came
and
took
his
place
near
where
I
was;
and
when
he
came,
I
was full
of fear
and
went
down
on
my
face:
but
he
said
to
me,
Let
it
be clear
to
you, O
son
of
man;
for
the
vision
has
to
do
with
the
time
of
the
end.
\VS{18}Now
while
he
was
talking
to
me,
I
went
into
a deep sleep
with
my
face
to
the
earth:
but
touching
me,
he put
me
on
my feet
where
I
had
been.
\VS{19}And
he
said,
See,
I
will
make clear
to
you
what
is
to
come
in
the
later
time
of
the
wrath:
for
it
has
to do
with
the
fixed
time
of
the
end.
\VS{20}The sheep
which
you
saw
with two
horns,
they
are
the
kings
of
Media
and
Persia.
\VS{21}And
the he-goat
is
the
king
of
Greece:
and
the
great
horn
between
his
eyes
is
the
first
king.
\VS{22}And
as
for
that
which
was
broken,
in
place
of
which
four came
up,
four
kingdoms
will come
up
from
his
nation,
but
not
with
his
power.
\VS{23}And
in
the later years
of
their
kingdom,
when
their evil doings
have become
complete,
there
will
come
up
a
king
full
of pride
and expert
in
dark
sayings.
\VS{24}And
his
power
will
be
great,
and
he
will
be purposing strange
things.
And all
will
go well
for
him
and
he
will
do
his pleasure;
and
he
will send
destruction
on
the
strong
ones.
\VS{25}And
his designs
will
be turned
against
the holy people, causing
deceit
to
do well
in
his
hand;
in
his
heart
he
will
make
himself
great,
and send
destruction
on numbers
who
are
living unconscious
of
their danger;
and
he
will
put
himself
up
against
the
prince
of
princes;
but
he
will
be
broken, though
not
by men's
hands.
\VS{26}And
the
vision
of
evenings
and
mornings
which
has
been talked
of
is
true:
and
keep
the
vision
secret;
for
it
has
to do
with
the far-off future.
\VS{27}And
I,
Daniel,
was ill
for
some
days;
then
I
got
up
and
did
the king's
business:
and
I
was
full
of wonder
at
the
vision,
but
no
one
was able
to
give
the sense
of
it.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
first
year
of
Darius,
the
son
of
Ahasuerus,
of
the
seed
of
the
Medes,
who
was
made
king
over
the
kingdom
of
the Chaldaeans;
\VS{2}In
the
first
year
of
his
rule,
I,
Daniel, saw clearly
from
the
books
the
number
of
years
given
by
the
word
of
the
Lord
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
in
which
the making
waste
of
Jerusalem
was
to
be
complete,
that
is,
seventy
years.
\VS{3}And turning
my
face
to
the
Lord
God,
I
gave myself
up
to
prayer, requesting
his grace, going without food,
in haircloth
and
dust.
\VS{4}And
I
made prayer
to
the
Lord
my
God, putting
our sins
before
him,
and
said,
O
Lord,
the
great
God,
greatly
to
be
feared.
keeping
your
agreement
and
mercy
with those
who
have
love
for
you
and
do
your
orders;
\VS{5}We
are sinners, acting wrongly
and doing
evil; we have
gone
against
you,
turning
away
from
your
orders
and
from
your laws:
\VS{6}We
have
not
given ear
to
your
servants
the
prophets,
who
said words
in
your
name
to
our
kings
and
our
rulers
and
our
fathers
and
all
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{7}O
Lord,
righteousness
is yours,
but
shame
is
on
us,
even
to
this
day;
and
on
the
men
of
Judah
and
the
people
of
Jerusalem,
and
on
all
Israel,
those
who
are
near
and
those
who
are
far
off,
in
all
the
countries
where
you
have sent
them
because
of
the sin
which
they
have
done
against
you.
\VS{8}O
Lord,
shame
is
on
us,
on
our
kings
and
our
rulers
and
our
fathers,
because
of
our
sin
against
you.
\VS{9}With
the
Lord
our
God
are
mercies
and
forgiveness,
for
we
have gone
against
him;
\VS{10}And
have
not
given ear
to
the
voice
of
the
Lord
our
God
to go
in
the
way
of
his
laws
which
he
put
before
us
by
the
mouth
of
his
servants
the
prophets.
\VS{11}And
all
Israel
have
been sinners
against
your
law,
turning
away
so
as
not
to
give ear
to
your
voice:
and
the
curse
has
been let
loose
on
us,
and
the
oath
recorded
in
the
law
of
Moses,
the
servant
of
God,
for
we
have
done evil
against
him.
\VS{12}And
he
has given
effect
to
his
words
which
he
said
against
us
and
against
those
who
were
our
judges,
by sending
a
great
evil
on
us:
for
under
all
heaven
there
has
not
been
done
what
has
been
done
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{13}As
it
was
recorded
in
the
law
of
Moses,
all
this
evil
has
come
on
us:
but
we
have
made
no prayer
for grace
from
the
Lord
our
God
that
we
might
be
turned
from
our
evil doings
and
come
to
true wisdom.
\VS{14}So
the
Lord
has
been
watching
over
this
evil
and
has
made
it
come
on
us:
for
the
Lord
our
God
is upright
in
all
his
acts
which
he
has
done,
and
we
have
not
given ear
to
his
voice.
\VS{15}And
now,
O
Lord
our
God,
who
took
your
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
a
strong
hand
and
made
a
great
name
for yourself
even
to
this
day;
we
are sinners,
we
have
done
evil.
\VS{16}O
Lord,
because
of
your
righteousness,
let
your
wrath
and
your passion
be
turned
away
from
your
town
Jerusalem,
your
holy
mountain:
because,
through
our
sins
and
the evil-doing
of
our
fathers,
Jerusalem
and
your
people
have
become
a
cause
of
shame
to
all
who
are
round
about
us.
\VS{17}And
now,
give ear,
O
our
God,
to
the
prayer
of
your
servant
and
to
his
request
for grace,
and
let
your
face
be shining
on
your
holy
place which
is
made waste,
because
of
your
servants,
O
Lord.
\VS{18}O
my
God,
let
your
ear
be
turned
and
give
hearing;
let
your
eyes
be
open
and
see
how
we
have
been
made
waste
and
the
town
which
is
named
by
your
name:
for
we
are
not offering
our prayers
before
you
because
of
our
righteousness,
but
because
of
your
great
mercies.
\VS{19}O
Lord,
give ear;
O
Lord,
have forgiveness;
O
Lord, take note
and
do;
let there
be
no
more waiting;
for
the honour
of
your
name,
O
my
God,
because
your
town
and
your
people
are
named
by
your
name.
\VS{20}And
while
I
was
still
saying
these words
in prayer,
and putting
my
sins
and
the
sins
of
my
people
Israel
before
the
Lord,
and requesting
grace
from
the
Lord
my
God
for
the
holy
mountain
of
my
God;
\VS{21}Even
while
I
was
still
in
prayer,
the
man
Gabriel,
whom
I
had
seen
in
the
vision
at
first
when
my
weariness
was great, put
his hand
on
me
about
the
time
of
the
evening
offering.
\VS{22}And teaching
me
and
talking
to
me
he
said, O
Daniel,
I
have
come
now
to
give
you wisdom.
\VS{23}At
the
first
word
of
your prayer
a
word
went
out,
and
I
have
come
to
give
you knowledge;
for
you
are
a man dearly loved:
so
give
thought
to
the
word
and
let
the
vision
be
clear
to
you.
\VS{24}Seventy
weeks
have
been fixed
for
your
people
and
your
holy
town,
to let wrongdoing
be complete
and
sin
come
to
its full limit,
and
for
the clearing
away
of evil-doing
and
the
coming
in
of
eternal
righteousness:
so
that
the
vision
and
the word
of
the
prophet may
be stamped
as true,
and
to
put
the
holy
oil
on
a
most
holy
place.
\VS{25}Have
then
the
certain
knowledge
that
from
the
going
out
of
the
word
for
the
building
again
of
Jerusalem
till
the coming
of
a
prince,
on whom
the holy oil
has been
put,
will
be
seven
weeks:
in sixty-two
weeks
its
building
will
be complete,
with
square
and earthwork.
\VS{26}And
at
the
end
of
the times,
even
after
the sixty-two
weeks,
one
on whom
the
holy oil
has been
put
will
be
cut
off
and
have
no...;
and
the
town
and
the
holy
place
will
be
made
waste
together
with
a
prince;
and
the
end
will
come
with
an
overflowing
of waters,
and
even
to
the
end
there
will
be
war;
the
making
waste which
has been fixed.
\VS{27}And
a strong order
will
be sent
out
against
the
great number
for
one
week;
and
so
for
half
of
the
week
the
offering
and
the
meal
offering
will come
to
an
end;
and
in
its place
will
be
an unclean
thing
causing fear;
till
the
destruction which
has been fixed
is let
loose
on
him
who
has
made
waste.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
Cyrus,
king
of
Persia,
a secret
was unfolded
to
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar;
and
the
thing
was
true,
even
a
hard
work:
and
he
had knowledge
of
it,
and
the
vision
was clear
to
him.
\VS{2}In
those
days
I,
Daniel,
gave
myself
up
to grief
for
three
full
weeks.
\VS{3}I
had
no
pleasing
food,
no
meat
or
wine
came
into
my
mouth,
and
I
put
no oil
on
my
body
till
three
full
weeks
were
ended.
\VS{4}And
on
the twenty-fourth
day
of
the
first
month
I
was
by
the
side
of
the
great
river;
\VS{5}And lifting
up
my
eyes
I
saw
the form
of
a
man
clothed
in
a
linen robe,
and round
him
there
was
a band
of
gold,
of
the
best
gold:
\VS{6}And
his body
was
like
the
beryl,
and
his
face
had
the
look
of
a thunder-flame,
and
his
eyes
were
like
burning lights,
and
his
arms
and
feet
like
the colour
of
polished
brass,
and
the
sound
of
his
voice
was
like
the
sound
of
an
army.
\VS{7}And
I,
Daniel,
was
the
only
one
who
saw
the
vision,
for
the
men
who
were
with
me
did
not
see
it;
but
a
great shaking
came
on
them
and
they
went
in
flight
to
take cover.
\VS{8}So
I
was
by
myself,
and
I
saw
this
great
vision,
and
all
my
strength went
from
me;
and
the colour went
from
my
face.
\VS{9}But
the
sound
of
his
words
came
to
my ears,
and
on
hearing
his
voice
I
went
into
a deep sleep
with
my
face
to
the
earth.
\VS{10}Then
a
hand gave
me
a
touch, awaking
me,
and putting
me
on
my
knees
and
my
hands.
\VS{11}And
he
said
to
me, O
Daniel,
you
man dearly loved,
take
in
the sense
of
the
words
I
say
to
you
and
get
up
on
to
your feet:
for
to
you
I
am
now
sent;
and
when
he
had
said
this
to
me
I got
on
to
my feet, shaking
with fear.
\VS{12}Then
he
said
to
me,
Have
no
fear,
Daniel;
for
from
the
first
day
when
you
gave
your
heart
to getting
wisdom
and
making
yourself poor
in
spirit
before
your
God,
your
words
have
come
to
his ears:
and
I
have
come
because
of
your
words.
\VS{13}But
the angel
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia
put
himself
against
me
for twenty-one
days;
but
Michael,
one
of
the
chief angels,
came
to
my
help;
and
when
I
came
he
was
still
there
with
the angel
of
the
kings
of
Persia.
\VS{14}Now
I
have
come
to
give
you knowledge
of
the
fate
of
your
people
in
the later
days;
for
there
is
still
a
vision
for
the
days.
\VS{15}And
after
he
had
said
these
words
to
me,
I
kept
my
face
turned
to
the
earth
and
was unable
to
say
anything.
\VS{16}Then
one
whose
form
was
like
the
sons
of
men
put
his finger
on
my
lips;
and
opening
my
mouth,
I
said
to
him
who
was
before
me, O
my
lord,
because
of
the
vision
my
pains
have
come
on
me,
and
I
have
no
more
strength.
\VS{17}For
how
may
this
servant
of
my
lord
have
talk
with
my
lord?
for,
as
for
me, straight
away
my
strength went
from
me
and
there
was
no
breath
in
my body.
\VS{18}Then
again
one having
the
form
of
a
man
put
his hand
on
me
and
gave
me
strength.
\VS{19}And
he
said
to
me, O
man greatly loved,
have
no
fear:
peace
be
with
you,
be
strong
and
let
your heart
be lifted up.
And
at
his words
I
became
strong,
and
said,
Let
my
lord
say
on,
for
you
have given
me
strength.
\VS{20}Then
he
said,
It
is
clear
to
you
why
I
have
come
to
you.
And
now
I
will
give
you
an account
of
what
is recorded
in
the true writings:
\VS{21}But
I am going back
to
make war
with
the angel
of Persia,
and
when
I am
gone,
the angel
of Greece
will come.
And
there
is
no
one
on
my
side
against
these,
but
Michael,
your angel.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
as
for
me,
in
the
first
year
of
Darius
the
Mede
I
was
on
his side
to
make
his
position safe
and
make
him
strong.
\VS{2}And
now
I
will
make
clear
to
you what
is
true.
There
are
still
three
kings
to come
in
Persia,
and
the
fourth
will
have
much
greater
wealth
than
all
of
them:
and
when
he
has
become
strong
through
his
wealth,
he
will put
his forces
in motion
against
all
the
kingdoms
of
Greece.
\VS{3}And
a
strong
king
will come
to power,
ruling
with
great
authority
and
doing whatever
is
his
pleasure.
\VS{4}And
when
he
has become strong,
his
kingdom
will
be
broken
and parted
to
the
four
winds
of
heaven;
but
not
to
his offspring,
for
it
will
be
uprooted;
and
his
kingdom
will
be
for
the
others
and
not
for
these:
but
not
with
the
same
authority
as
his.
\VS{5}And
the
king
of
the
south
will
be
strong,
but
one
of
his
captains
will
be
stronger
than
he
and
will
be
ruler;
and
his
rule
will
be
a
great
rule.
\VS{6}And
at
the
end
of
years
they
will
be
joined
together;
and
the
daughter
of
the
king
of
the
south
will
come
to
the
king
of
the
north
to
make
an agreement:
but
she
will
not
keep
the
strength
of
her
arm;
and
his offspring
will
not
keep
their
place;
but
she
will
be uprooted,
with
those
who
were
the
cause
of
her
coming,
and
her son,
and
he
who
took
her
in
those
times.
\VS{7}But
out
of
a
branch
from
her
roots
one
will
come
up
to
take
his
place,
who
will
come
against
the
army, forcing
his way
into
the
strong
place
of
the
king
of
the
north,
and
he
will
take
them
in hand
and
overcome
them:
\VS{8}And
their
gods
and
their metal images
and
their fair
vessels
of
silver
and
gold
he
will
take
away
into
the south;
and
for some
years
he
will
keep
away
from
the
king
of
the
north.
\VS{9}And
he
will
come
into
the
kingdom
of
the
king
of
the
south,
but
he
will
go
back
to
his
land.
\VS{10}And
his
son
will
make
war,
and
will
get
together
an
army
of
great
forces,
and
he
will
make
an
attack
on
him,
overflowing
and
going past:
and
he
will
again
take
the
war
even
to
his
strong
place.
\VS{11}And
the
king
of
the
south
will
be
moved
with wrath,
and
will
come
out
and
make war
on
him,
on
this same
king
of
the
north:
and
he
will
get
together
a
great
army,
but
the
army
will
be
given
into
his
hand.
\VS{12}And
the
army
will
be
taken
away,
and
his
heart
will
be
uplifted:
he
will
be
the cause
of
the
downfall
of
tens
of
thousands,
but
he
will
not
be
strong.
\VS{13}And
again
the
king
of
the
north
will
get together
an
army
greater
than
the
first;
and
he
will
make
an
attack
on
him
at
the
end
of
years,
with
a
great
army
and
much
wealth.
\VS{14}In
those
times,
a number
will
take
up arms
against
the
king
of
the
south:
and
the
children
of
the
violent
among
your
people
will
be lifting
themselves
up
to
make
the
vision come true;
but
it
will
be
their
downfall.
\VS{15}So
the
king
of
the
north
will
come,
and
put
up earthworks
and
take
a well-armed
town:
and
the
forces
of
the
king
of
the
south
will
make
an attempt
to
keep
their
position,
even
the best
of
his
army,
but
they
will
not
have
strength
to
do
so.
\VS{16}And
he
who
comes
against
him
will
do
his
pleasure,
and
no
one
will
be
able
to
keep
his
place
before
him:
he
will
take
up
his
position
in
the
beautiful
land
and
in
his
hand
there
will
be
destruction.
\VS{17}And
it
will
be
his purpose
to
come
with
the strength
of
all
his
kingdom,
but
in
place
of
this
he
will
make
an agreement
with
him;
and
he
will
give
him
the
daughter
of
women
to
send
destruction
on
it;
but
this
will
not
take
place
or
come
about.
\VS{18}After
this,
his
face
will
be
turned
to
the
islands,
and
he
will
take
a number
of
them:
but
a
chief,
by
his destruction,
will
put
an end
to
the
shame offered
by
him;
and
more
than
this,
he
will
make
his
shame
come
back
on
him.
\VS{19}Then
his
face
will
be
turned
to
the
strong places
of
his
land:
but
his
way
will
be
stopped, causing
his
downfall,
and
he
will
not
be seen
again.
\VS{20}Then
his
place
will
be
taken
by
one
who
will send
out
a
man
with
the glory
of
a
king
to get
wealth
together;
but
after
a short
time destruction
will
overtake
him,
but
not
in
wrath
or
in
the
fight.
\VS{21}And
his
place
will
be
taken
by
a low
person,
to whom
the honour
of
the
kingdom
had
not
been
given:
but
he
will
come
in
time
of peace
and
will
get
the
kingdom
by fair words.
\VS{22}And
his
forces
will
be completely taken
away
from
before
him
and
broken;
and
even
the
ruler
of
the
agreement
will
have
the same fate.
\VS{23}And
from
the time
when
they
make
an agreement
with
him,
he
will
be working falsely:
for
he
will
take
up arms suddenly
with
a
small
force,
\VS{24}Against fertile places,
and
will
make waste
a
part
of
the country;
and
he
will
do
what
his
fathers
have
not
done,
or
his fathers'
fathers;
he
will
make distribution
among
them
of
goods taken
in war
and
by force,
and
of
property:
he
will
even
make
designs
against
the strong places
for
a
time.
\VS{25}And
he
will put
in motion
his
power
and
his
strength
against
the
king
of
the
south
with
a
great
army;
and
the
king
of
the
south
will go
to
war
with
a
very
great
and
strong
army:
but
he
will
be forced
to give
way,
because
of
their
designs
against
him;
\VS{26}And
his fears
will
overcome
him
and
be
the cause
of
his
downfall,
and
his
army
will
come
to complete destruction,
and
a
great number
will
be put
to
the sword.
\VS{27}And
as
for
these
two
kings,
their
hearts
will
be
fixed
on doing evil
and
they
will
say
false words
at
one
table;
but
it
will come
to
nothing:
for
the
end
will
be
at
the
time
fixed.
\VS{28}And
he
will
go
back
to
his
land
with
great
wealth;
and
his
heart
will
be
against
the
holy
agreement;
and
he
will
do
his pleasure
and
go
back
to
his
land.
\VS{29}At
the
time
fixed
he
will
come
back
and
come
into
the
south;
but
in
the
later
time
it
will
not
be
as
it
was
before.
\VS{30}For
those
who
go
out
from
the west
will
come
against
him,
and
he
will
be
in fear
and
will
go
back,
full
of wrath
against
the
holy
agreement;
and
he
will
do
his pleasure:
and
he
will
go
back
and
be united
with
those
who
have given
up
the
holy
agreement.
\VS{31}And
armies
sent
by
him
will
take
up
their
position
and
they
will
make unclean
the
holy
place, even
the
strong
place,
and
take
away
the
regular burned
offering
and
put
in
its
place
an unclean thing
causing fear.
\VS{32}And
those
who
do
evil against
the
agreement
will
be turned
to sin
by
his fair words:
but
the
people
who
have
knowledge
of
their
God
will
be
strong
and
do
well.
\VS{33}And
those
who
are
wise among
the
people
will
be
the
teachers
of
the mass
of
the
people:
but
they
will come
to
their
downfall
by
the
sword
and
by
the
flame, being made
prisoners
and undergoing loss
for
a
long
time.
\VS{34}Now
at
the time
of
their
downfall
they
will
have
a
little
help,
but numbers
will
be joined
to
them
in
the town,
and
in
their separate heritages.
\VS{35}And
some
of
those
who
are
wise
will
have wisdom
in testing themselves
and making themselves clean,
till
the
time
of
the
end:
for
it
is
still
for
the
fixed
time.
\VS{36}And
the
king
will
do
his
pleasure;
he
will
put
himself
on
high,
lifting
himself
over
every
god,
and
saying
things
to
be wondered
at
against
the
God
of
gods;
and
all
will
be well
for
him
till
the
wrath
is
complete;
for
what
has
been purposed
will
be
done.
\VS{37}He
will
have
no
respect
for
the
gods
of
his
fathers
or
for
the
god desired
by
women;
he
will
have
no
respect
for
any
god:
for
he
will put
himself
on high
over
all.
\VS{38}But
in
place
of
this
he
will give honour
to
the
god
of armed places,
and
to
a
god
of
whom
his
fathers
had
no
knowledge
he
will give honour
with
gold
and
silver
and jewels
and
things
to
be
desired.
\VS{39}And
he
will
make use
of
the
people
of
a
strange
god
to
keep
his
strongest places;
to
those
whom
he takes
note
of
he
will give
high honour:
and
he
will
make
them
rulers
over
the mass
of
the
people,
and
will
make division
of
the
land
for
a
price.
\VS{40}And
at
the
time
of
the
end,
the
king
of
the
south
will make
an
attack
on
him:
and
the
king
of
the
north
will
come
against
him
like
a storm-wind,
with war-carriages
and
horsemen
and numbers
of
ships;
and
he
will
go
through
many
lands
like
overflowing waters.
\VS{41}And
he
will
come
into
the
beautiful
land,
and tens
of thousands
will
be overcome:
but
these
will
be kept
from falling
into
his
hands:
Edom
and
Moab
and
the chief
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
\VS{42}And
his
hand
will
be
stretched
out
on
the
countries:
and
the
land
of
the south
will
not
be safe
from
him.
\VS{43}But
he
will
have power
over
the stores
of
gold
and
silver,
and
over
all
the valued
things
of
the south:
and
the
Libyans
and
the
Ethiopians
will
be
at
his
steps.
\VS{44}But
he
will be troubled by
news
from
the
east
and
from
the
north;
and
he
will
go
out
in
great
wrath,
to
send
destruction
on,
and
put an
end
to,
great numbers.
\VS{45}He
will
put
the
tents
of
his great house
between
the
sea
and
the
beautiful
holy
mountain:
but
he
will
come
to
his
end
with
no
helper.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
at
that
time
Michael
will
take
up
his
place,
the
great angel,
who
is
the supporter
of
the
children
of
your
people:
and
there
will
be
a
time
of
trouble,
such
as
there
never
was
from
the
time
there
was
a
nation
even
till
that
same
time:
and
at
that
time
your
people
will
be
kept safe,
everyone
who
is
recorded
in
the
book.
\VS{2}And a number
of
those
who
are
sleeping
in
the
dust
of
the
earth
will come out
of their
sleep,
some
to
eternal
life
and
some
to
eternal
shame.
\VS{3}And those
who
are
wise will
be shining
like
the light
of
the outstretched sky;
and those
by whom numbers have
been turned
to
righteousness will
be
like
the
stars
for
ever
and
ever.
\VS{4}But
as
for
you,
O
Daniel,
let
the
words
be kept
secret
and
the
book rolled
up
and kept
shut
till
the
time
of
the
end: numbers
will
be going
out
of
the
way
and troubles
will
be
increased.
\VS{5}Then
I,
Daniel,
looking,
saw
two
others,
one
at
the
edge
of
the
river
on
this
side
and
one
at
the
edge
of
the
river
on
that
side.
\VS{6}And
I
said
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
over
the
waters
of
the
river,
How
long
will
it
be
to
the
end
of
these
wonders?
\VS{7}Then
in
my
hearing
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
over
the
river,
lifting
up
his
right
hand
and
his
left
hand
to
heaven,
took
an
oath
by
him
who
is
living
for
ever
that
it
would
be
a
time,
times,
and
a
half;
and
when
the
power
of
the crusher
of
the
holy
people comes
to
an
end,
all
these
things
will
be
ended.
\VS{8}And
the words
came
to
my ears,
but
the sense
of
them
was
not clear
to
me:
then
I
said,
O
my
lord,
what
is
the sense
of
these
things?
\VS{9}And
he
said, Go
on
your
way,
Daniel:
for
the
words
are
secret
and
shut
up
till
the
time
of
the
end;
\VS{10}Till
a number
are
tested
and
make themselves clean;
and
the evil-doers
will
do
evil;
for
not
one
of
the evil-doers
will
have knowledge;
but
all
will
be
made
clear
to
those
who
are
wise.
\VS{11}And
from
the
time
when
the
regular burned offering
is
taken
away,
and
an unclean thing
causing fear
is
put
up, there
will
be
a
thousand,
two
hundred
and
ninety
days.
\VS{12}A blessing
will
be
on
the man who goes
on
waiting,
and
comes
to
the
thousand,
three
hundred
and thirty-five
days.
\VS{13}But
you, go
on
your way
and
take
your
rest:
for
you
will
be
in
your
place
at
the
end
of
the
days.
