\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
came
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon unto
Jerusalem,
and besieged
it.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
gave
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
into
his
hand,
and
a
part
of
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and
he
carried
them
into
the
land
of
Shinar,
to
the
house
of
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}god;
and
he
brought
the
vessels
into
the treasure-house
of
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}god.
\VS{3}And
the
king
spoke unto
Ashpenaz
the chief
of
his
eunuchs,
that
he
should
bring
of
the
children
of
Israel,
both
of
the
royal
seed
and
of
the
nobles,
\VS{4}youths
in
whom
was
no
blemish,
and
of goodly countenance,
and skilful
in
all
wisdom,
and
acquainted
with
knowledge,
and
understanding science,
and
such
as
had
ability
in
them
to
stand
in
the king's
palace,
and
whom
they
might
teach
the learning
and
the
language
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{5}And
the
king
appointed unto
them
a
daily provision
of
the king's delicate
food,
and
of
the
wine
that
he
drank,
to nourish
them
three
years,
that
at
the
end thereof
they might
stand
before
the
king.
\VS{6}Now among these
were
of
the
children
of
Judah,
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah.
\VS{7}And
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
gave
them
names:
to
Daniel
he
gave [the
name]
Belteshazzar,
and
to
Hananiah,
Shadrach,
and
to
Mishael,
Meshach,
and
to
Azariah,
Abed-nego.
\VS{8}And
Daniel purposed
in
his
heart
that
he
would
not pollute
himself
with
the king's delicate
food,
nor
with
the
wine
which
he
drank;
and
he requested
of
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
that
he
might
not
have
to pollute
himself.
\VS{9}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
granted
Daniel favour
and
mercy
before
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs.
\VS{10}And
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
said unto
Daniel,
I
fear
my
lord
the
king
who hath
appointed
your
food
and
your
drink;
for
why
should
he
see
your
faces worse liking
than
the
youths
who
are
of
your age?
and ye
would endanger
my
head
with
the
king.
\VS{11}And
Daniel
said
to
the steward,
whom
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
had
set
over
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah,
\VS{12}Prove thy
servants,
I
beseech thee,
ten
days;
and
let
them
give
us pulse
to
eat,
and
water
to
drink;
\VS{13}then let
our countenances
be
looked
upon
before thee,
and
the
countenance
of
the
youths
that
eat
of
the king's delicate
food:
and
as thou shalt
see,
deal
with thy
servants.
\VS{14}And
he hearkened unto
them
in
this
matter,
and
proved
them
ten
days.
\VS{15}And
at
the
end
of
ten
days
their countenances
appeared fairer
and
were fatter
in
flesh
than
all
the
youths
that
ate
of
the king's delicate
food.
\VS{16}So
the steward
took
away
their delicate
food,
and
the
wine
that
they should
drink;
and
gave
them pulse.
\VS{17}As
for
these
four
youths,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
gave
them
knowledge
and
skill
in
all learning
and
wisdom;
and
Daniel
had
understanding
in
all
visions
and
dreams.
\VS{18}And
at
the
end
of
the
days
that
the
king
had
said
he
should
bring
them
in,
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
brought
them
in
before
Nebuchadnezzar.
\VS{19}And
the
king
spoke
with
them;
and
among
them
all
was
found
none
like
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah:
and
they
stood
before
the
king.
\VS{20}And
in
all
matters
of judicious
wisdom,
as
to
which
the
king enquired
of
them,
he
found
them
ten
times
better
than
all
the scribes [and]
magicians
that
were
in
all
his
realm.
\VS{21}And
Daniel
continued unto
the
first
year
of
king
Cyrus.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
in
the
second
year
of
the
reign
of
Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed
dreams,
and
his
spirit
was
troubled,
and
his
sleep
went
from
him.
\VS{2}And
the
king
commanded
to
call
the scribes,
and
the
magicians,
and
the
sorcerers,
and
the
Chaldeans,
to shew
the
king
his
dreams;
and
they
came
and
stood
before
the
king.
\VS{3}And
the
king
said unto
them,
I
have
dreamed
a
dream,
and
my
spirit
is
troubled
to
know
the
dream.
\VS{4}And
the
Chaldeans
spoke
to
the
king
in
Aramaic, O
king,
live
for
ever!
tell thy
servants
the
dream,
and we
will shew
the
interpretation.
\VS{5}The
king
answered
and
said
to
the
Chaldeans,
The
command
is gone forth
from me:
If ye
do
not
make
known unto me
the
dream,
and
its
interpretation, ye shall be cut
in pieces,
and your
houses shall be
made
a dunghill.
\VS{6}But
if ye shew
the
dream
and
its
interpretation, ye shall
receive
of
me
gifts
and
rewards
and
great honour; therefore shew
me
the
dream
and
its
interpretation.
\VS{7}They
answered
the
second
time
and
said, Let
the
king
tell his
servants
the
dream,
and we
will shew
the
interpretation.
\VS{8}The
king
answered
and
said,
I
know
of
a certainty
that ye would gain
time,
because ye
see
the
word
is gone forth
from me;
\VS{9}but
if ye do
not
make
known unto
me
the
dream,
there
is
but
one
decree
for
you;
for ye have prepared lying
and
corrupt
words
to
speak
before
me, till
the
time be
changed: therefore
tell
me
the
dream,
and
I shall
know
that ye
can shew
me
its
interpretation.
\VS{10}The
Chaldeans
answered
before
the
king
and
said,
There
is
not
a
man upon
the
earth
that
can shew
the king's
matter;
therefore
there
is
no
king, however
great
and powerful,
that hath
asked
such
a
thing
of
any scribe,
or
magician,
or
Chaldean.
\VS{11}For
the
thing
that
the
king demandeth
is extraordinary,
and
there
is none
other
that
can shew
it
before
the
king,
except
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }
Elohim}gods,
whose
dwelling
is
not
with
flesh.
\VS{12}For
this cause
the
king
was irritated
and
very wroth,
and
commanded
to
destroy
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{13}And
the
decree
went
forth that
the
wise
men were
to be
slain;
and they sought
Daniel
and
his companions
to
slay them.
\VS{14}Then
Daniel answered
with
counsel
and prudence
to
Arioch
the
chief
of
the king's
bodyguard,
who
had
gone
forth
to
slay
the
wise
men
of
Babylon:
\VS{15}he
answered
and
said
to
Arioch
the king's captain,
Why
is
the
decree
so rigorous
from
the
king?
Then
Arioch
made
the
thing
known
to
Daniel.
\VS{16}And
Daniel
went
in,
and
requested
of
the
king
that
he would
give
him
time,
that
he might shew
the
king
the
interpretation.
\VS{17}Then
Daniel
went
to
his
house,
and
made
the
thing
known
to
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah,
his companions;
\VS{18}that
they would desire mercies
of
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:18 }
Elohim}God
of
the
heavens
concerning
this secret;
that
Daniel
and
his companions should
not
perish
with
the
rest
of
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{19}Then
was
the secret
revealed unto
Daniel
in
a
night
vision.
Then
Daniel
blessed
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:19 }
Elohim}God
of
the
heavens.
\VS{20}Daniel
answered
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
name
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:20 }
Elohim}God
for
ever
and
ever;
For
wisdom
and might
are
his.
\VS{21}And it
is
he
that changeth
times
and seasons;
He deposeth
kings,
and setteth up
kings;
He giveth
wisdom
to
the
wise,
And
knowledge
to them
that
know
understanding.
\VS{22}It
is
he
that revealeth
the
deep
and secret things;
He knoweth
what
is in
the
darkness,
and
the light dwelleth
with him.
\VS{23}I thank thee,
and
I
praise thee, O
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:23 }
Elohim}God
of
my
fathers,
Who hast
given
me
wisdom
and might,
And hast
made
known unto
me already
what
we desired
of thee;
For thou hast
made
known unto us
the king's
matter.
\VS{24}Therefore
Daniel
went
in unto
Arioch,
whom
the
king
had
appointed
to
destroy
the
wise
men
of
Babylon;
he
went
and
said
thus unto
him:
Destroy not
the
wise
men
of
Babylon;
bring
me
in
before
the
king,
and
I
will shew unto
the
king
the
interpretation.
\VS{25}Then
Arioch
brought
in
Daniel
before
the
king
in
haste,
and
said
thus unto
him:
I
have
found
a
man
of
the
sons
of
the captivity
of
Judah
that
will
make
known unto
the
king
the
interpretation.
\VS{26}The
king
answered
and
said unto
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar, Art thou
able
to
make
known unto me
the
dream
that
I
have
seen,
and
its
interpretation?
\VS{27}Daniel
answered
in
the
presence
of
the
king
and
said,
The secret
that
the
king hath
demanded
cannot
the
wise
men,
the
magicians,
the scribes,
the
astrologers, shew unto
the
king;
\VS{28}but
there
is
a
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:28 }
Elohim}God
in
the
heavens,
who revealeth secrets,
and maketh
known
to
king
Nebuchadnezzar
what shall
be
at
the end
of
days. Thy
dream,
and
the
visions
of thy
head upon thy
bed
are
these:
\VS{29}—
as
for thee, O
king, thy
thoughts arose upon thy
bed,
what
should come
to pass hereafter;
and
he
that revealeth secrets hath
made
known
to thee
what shall come
to pass.
\VS{30}And
as
for me,
this secret
is
revealed
to me,
not
by [any]
wisdom
that
I
have
more
than
any
living,
but
to
the intent
that
the
interpretation
should
be
made
known
to
the
king,
and
that thou mightest
know
the
thoughts
of thy
heart.
\VS{31}Thou, O
king, sawest,
and
behold,
a
great
image.
This
image
was mighty
and its
brightness excellent;
it
stood
before thee,
and its
appearance
was terrible.
\VS{32}This image's
head
was
of
fine
gold, its
breast
and its
arms
of
silver, its
belly
and its
thighs
of brass,
\VS{33}its
legs
of
iron,
its
feet
part
of
iron
and
part
of
clay.
\VS{34}Thou sawest till
a
stone
was
cut
out
without
hands;
and
it smote
the
image upon its
feet
of
iron
and
clay,
and broke
them
to pieces.
\VS{35}Then
was
the
iron,
the
clay,
the brass,
the
silver,
and
the
gold broken
in pieces together,
and
they
became like
the
chaff
of
the
summer threshing-floors;
and
the
wind
carried
them away,
and
no
place
was
found
for
them.
And
the
stone
that smote
the
image
became
a
great
mountain,
and
filled
the
whole
earth.
\VS{36}This
is
the
dream;
and we
will
tell
the
interpretation
of it
before
the
king.
\VS{37}Thou, O
king, art a
king
of
kings, unto
whom
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:37 }
Elohim}God
of
the
heavens hath
given
the
kingdom,
the
power,
and
the
strength,
and
the
glory;
\VS{38}and wheresoever
the
children
of
men,
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
the fowl
of
the
heavens
dwell,
he hath
given them into thy
hand,
and hath
made thee
ruler
over them
all: thou art
this
head
of
gold.
\VS{39}And
after thee shall
arise
another
kingdom
inferior
to thee;
then
another
third
kingdom
of brass,
which shall bear
rule
over
all
the
earth.
\VS{40}And
the
fourth
kingdom shall
be
strong
as
iron: forasmuch
as
iron breaketh
in
pieces
and subdueth
everything,
and
as
iron
that breaketh
all
these,
so shall it
break
in
pieces
and bruise.
\VS{41}And whereas thou sawest
the
feet
and
toes,
part
of potter's
clay,
and
part
of
iron,
the
kingdom shall
be
divided;
but
there shall
be
in it
of
the strength
of
the
iron, forasmuch
as thou sawest
the
iron
mixed
with miry
clay.
\VS{42}And [as] the
toes
of the
feet
were
part
of
iron
and
part
of
clay, the
kingdom shall
be
partly
strong
and
partly
fragile.
\VS{43}And whereas thou sawest
the
iron
mixed
with miry
clay,
they shall mingle themselves
with
the
seed
of
men;
but
they shall
not cleave
one
to
another,
even
as
iron doth
not mingle
with
clay.
\VS{44}And
in
the
days
of
these
kings shall
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:44 }
Elohim}God
of
the
heavens
set up
a
kingdom
which shall never
be
destroyed;
and
the
sovereignty thereof shall
not
be
left
to
another
people: it shall break
in pieces
and consume
all
these
kingdoms,
but
itself shall
stand
for
ever.
\VS{45}Forasmuch
as thou sawest
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
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:45 }
Elohim}God hath
made
known
to
the
king
what shall come
to pass hereafter.
And
the
dream
is certain,
and
the
interpretation
of it
sure.
\VS{46}Then
king
Nebuchadnezzar
fell
on
his
face
and worshipped
Daniel,
and
commanded
that
they
should offer an oblation
and sweet odours unto him.
\VS{47}The
king
answered
Daniel
and
said,
Of
a truth it
is
that your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:47 }
Elohim}God
is
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:47 }
Elohim}God
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:47 }
Elohim}gods,
and
the
Lord
of
kings,
and
a
revealer
of secrets,
because thou wast
able
to
reveal
this secret.
\VS{48}Then
the
king
made
Daniel
great,
and
gave
him
many
great
gifts,
and
made
him
ruler
over
the
whole
province
of
Babylon,
and
chief
of
the governors
over
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
\VS{49}And
Daniel
requested
of
the
king,
and
he
appointed
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
over
the
administration
of
the
province
of
Babylon.
And
Daniel
was
in
the gate
of
the
king.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
made
an
image
of
gold,
whose
height
was
sixty
cubits, [and] its breadth
six
cubits;
he
set it up
in
the
plain
of
Dura,
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
\VS{2}And
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
sent
to gather together
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the counsellors,
the justices,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
to
come
to
the
dedication
of
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up.
\VS{3}Then
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the counsellors,
the justices,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
were
gathered together unto
the
dedication
of
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up;
and
they
stood
before
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
set up.
\VS{4}And
the
herald cried
aloud,
To you it
is
commanded, [O]
peoples,
nations,
and languages,
\VS{5}that
at
what
time ye
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music, ye
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king hath
set up;
\VS{6}and whosoever doth
not
fall
down
and
worship
shall
that same hour
be
cast
into
the
midst
of a burning fiery
furnace.
\VS{7}Therefore
at
that
time
when
all
the
peoples
heard
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
all
the
peoples,
the
nations,
and
the languages
fell
down [and] worshipped
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up.
\VS{8}Whereupon at
that
time
certain
Chaldeans
came
near,
and
accused
the
Jews.
\VS{9}They
spoke
and
said
to
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar, O
king,
live
for
ever!
\VS{10}Thou, O
king, hast
made
a
decree,
that
every
man
that
shall
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
shall
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image;
\VS{11}and [that] whosoever doth
not
fall
down
and
worship,
shall be
cast
into
the
midst
of a burning fiery
furnace.
\VS{12}There
are
certain
Jews
whom thou hast
appointed
over
the
administration
of
the
province
of
Babylon:
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego:
these
men, O
king, regard thee
not;
they
serve
not thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:12 }
Elohim}gods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that thou hast
set up.
\VS{13}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
in
rage
and fury
commanded
to
bring
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
Then
were
these
men
brought
before
the
king.
\VS{14}Nebuchadnezzar
spoke
and
said unto
them,
Is it
of purpose,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
that ye
serve
not
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:14 }
Elohim}god,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that
I
have
set up?
\VS{15}Now
if ye
be
ready
at
the
time
that ye
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
to
fall
down
and
worship
the
image
that
I
have
made, [well]:
but
if ye
worship
not, ye
shall
be
cast
that same hour
into
the
midst
of
a burning fiery
furnace:
and
who
is
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }
Elohim}God
that
shall
deliver
you
out
of
my
hands?
\VS{16}Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
answered
and
said
to
the
king, O
Nebuchadnezzar,
we
have
no
need
to
answer thee
in
this
matter.
\VS{17}If
it
be [so], our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:17 }
Elohim}God
whom
we
serve
is
able
to
deliver us
from
the burning fiery
furnace,
and
he
will
deliver [us] out
of thy
hand, O
king.
\VS{18}But
if
not,
be
it
known unto thee, O
king,
that
we
will
not
serve thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:18 }
Elohim}gods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that thou hast
set up.
\VS{19}Then
was
Nebuchadnezzar full
of fury,
and
the form
of
his visage
was
changed
against
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
He
spoke,
and
commanded
that
they should
heat
the
furnace
seven
times
more
than
it
was wont
to be
heated.
\VS{20}And
he
commanded
the most mighty
men
that
were
in
his
army
to bind
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
and
cast
them
into
the burning fiery
furnace.
\VS{21}Then
these
men
were
bound in their hosen, their tunics,
and their cloaks,
and their garments,
and
were
cast
into
the
midst
of
the burning fiery
furnace.
\VS{22}Forasmuch
as
the king's commandment
was rigorous,
and
the
furnace exceeding
hot,
the
flame
of
the
fire
slew
those
men
that
had taken
up
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
\VS{23}And
these
three
men,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
fell
down
bound
into the
midst
of the burning fiery
furnace.
\VS{24}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
was astonied,
and rose
up
in
haste;
he
spoke
and
said unto
his counsellors, Did
not
we
cast
three
men
bound
into
the
midst
of
the
fire?
They
answered
and
said
to
the
king, True, O
king.
\VS{25}He
answered
and
said, Lo,
I
see
four
men loose,
walking
in
the
midst
of
the
fire,
and
they
have
no hurt;
and
the
appearance
of
the
fourth
is
like
a
son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:25 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{26}Then
Nebuchadnezzar
came
near
to
the opening
of
the burning fiery
furnace;
he
spoke
and
said,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, ye
servants
of
the
Most
High
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:26 }
Elohim}God,
come
forth,
and
come [hither].
Then
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
came
forth
from
the
midst
of
the
fire.
\VS{27}And
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
and
the king's counsellors, being
gathered together,
saw
these
men, upon
whose
bodies
the
fire
had
had
no power,
nor
was
the
hair
of their
head
singed,
neither
were their hosen
changed,
nor
had
the
smell
of
fire passed
on
them.
\VS{28}Nebuchadnezzar
spoke
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:28 }
Elohim}God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
who hath
sent
his
angel,
and
delivered
his
servants
who
trusted
in
him,
and
who
changed
the king's
word,
and
yielded
their
bodies,
that
they might
not
serve
nor
worship
any
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:28 }
Elohim}god,
except
their own
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:28 }
Elohim}God!
\VS{29}Therefore
I
make
a
decree,
that
in
every
people,
nation,
and
language,
he
who shall
speak
anything amiss
against
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:29 }
Elohim}God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, shall
be cut
in pieces,
and
his
house shall
be
made
a dunghill:
because
there
is
no
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:29 }
Elohim}God
that
is
able
to
deliver
after
this sort.
\VS{30}Then
the
king
promoted
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
in
the
province
of
Babylon.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Nebuchadnezzar
the king unto all
the peoples, nations,
and languages, that dwell
in all
the earth: Peace
be multiplied unto you.
\VS{2}It hath seemed good unto
me
to declare
the signs
and wonders
that
the Most High
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:2 }
Elohim}God hath wrought
toward
me.
\VS{3}How great
are
his signs!
and how mighty
are
his wonders!
His kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom,
and
his dominion
is
from generation
to generation.
\VS{4}I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest
in my house,
and flourishing
in my palace.
\VS{5}I saw
a
dream
which made
me afraid,
and
the thoughts upon
my bed
and
the visions
of
my head troubled
me.
\VS{6}And
I
made
a decree
to bring
in
all
the wise men
of Babylon before me,
that
they might
make
known unto me
the
interpretation
of
the
dream.
\VS{7}Then came
in
the scribes,
the magicians,
the Chaldeans,
and
the astrologers;
and I told
the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me
the interpretation
of
it.
\VS{8}But at
the last Daniel
came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according
to
the name of my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:8 }
Elohim}god,
and in whom is
the spirit of
the holy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:8 }
Elohim}gods;
and before him I told
the dream:
\VS{9}O Belteshazzar, master
of
the scribes,
because
I know that
the spirit
of
the holy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:9 }
Elohim}gods is
in thee,
and no secret is too hard
for thee, tell me
the visions
of my dream which
I have seen,
and
the interpretation
of
it.
\VS{10}Thus
were
the
visions
of my
head upon my
bed:
I
saw,
and
behold
a tree
in
the midst
of
the earth,
and
its height
was great.
\VS{11}The
tree grew,
and
was strong,
and
its height reached unto
the heavens,
and
the sight thereof
to
the end
of all
the earth.
\VS{12}Its leaves
were beautiful,
and its fruit abundant,
and
in it
was food
for all:
the
beasts
of
the
field found shade under it,
and
the birds
of
the
heavens dwelt
in its branches,
and all flesh
was fed
from it.
\VS{13}I saw
in
the visions
of my head upon my bed,
and behold, a watcher
and a holy one came down
from
the heavens;
\VS{14}he cried aloud,
and said thus: Hew down
the tree,
and cut off
its branches, shake off
its leaves,
and scatter
its fruit; let
the beasts get away
from under
it,
and
the birds
from
its branches.
\VS{15}Nevertheless leave
the stump
of
its roots
in
the earth,
even
with
a band
of iron
and brass,
in
the tender grass
of
the field;
and let
it
be bathed
with
the dew
of heaven,
and let
his portion
be
with
the beasts
in
the grass
of
the earth.
\VS{16}Let
his heart
be changed
from man's,
and let
a beast's heart
be
given unto him;
and let seven
times pass over him.
\VS{17}This sentence
is by
the decree
of
the watchers,
and
the decision by
the word
of
the holy ones:
that
the living may know
that
the Most High ruleth over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth it
to whomsoever
he
will,
and setteth up over it
the basest
of men.
\VS{18}This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen;
and thou, Belteshazzar, tell
the interpretation, forasmuch as
all
the wise men
of my kingdom are not able
to make known unto me
the interpretation; but thou art able,
for
the spirit
of
the holy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:18 }
Elohim}gods is
in thee.
\VS{19}Then Daniel,
whose name
is Belteshazzar,
was astonied
for one hour,
and
his thoughts troubled him.
The
king spoke
and said, Belteshazzar, let not
the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered
and said,
My lord,
the dream be
to them
that hate thee,
and its interpretation
to thine enemies!
\VS{20}The
tree
that thou sawest,
which grew
and
was strong,
whose height reached unto
the
heavens,
and
the sight
of
it
to all
the
earth;
\VS{21}whose leaves
were beautiful,
and
its fruit abundant,
and
in
it
was food
for all; under
which
the beasts
of
the field dwelt,
and
in
whose branches
the birds
of
the heavens
had their habitation:
\VS{22}it
is thou, O king,
who art grown
and become strong;
for thy greatness
is grown,
and reacheth unto
the
heavens,
and thy dominion
to
the end
of
the earth.
\VS{23}And whereas
the king saw a watcher
and a holy one coming down
from
the
heavens,
and
saying, Hew
the
tree down,
and destroy it; nevertheless
leave
the stump
of
its
roots
in
the earth,
even with a band
of iron
and brass,
in
the tender grass
of
the field;
and let it be bathed with
the dew
of
heaven,
and let
his portion be with
the beasts
of
the field, till seven times pass over
him:
\VS{24}this is
the interpretation, O
king,
and
it is
the decree
of
the Most High, which cometh upon my lord
the
king:
\VS{25}They shall drive thee from men,
and thy dwelling shall be
with
the beasts
of
the field,
and they shall make thee
to eat grass as oxen,
and thou shalt be bathed
with
the dew
of heaven;
and seven times shall pass
over thee, till thou know
that
the Most High ruleth
over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth
it
to whomsoever
he
will.
\VS{26}And whereas
it
was commanded
to leave
the stump
of
the roots
of
the tree; thy
kingdom shall remain unto thee,
after
that thou shalt know
that
the heavens do rule.
\VS{27}Therefore, O
king, let
my counsel be acceptable unto thee,
and break off thy sins by righteousness,
and thine iniquities by shewing mercy
to
the poor; if it may be
a lengthening
of thy tranquillity.
\VS{28}All
this
came upon
king
Nebuchadnezzar.
\VS{29}At
the end
of twelve months
he
was walking upon
the
royal palace
of Babylon:
\VS{30}the king spoke
and said,
Is not
this
great Babylon,
that
I have built
for
the house
of
the kingdom
by
the might
of
my power
and
for
the glory
of
my majesty?
\VS{31}While
the word
was
in
the king's mouth,
there fell a voice
from
the
heavens: King
Nebuchadnezzar,
to thee
it
is spoken:
The
kingdom
is departed
from thee;
\VS{32}and
they shall drive thee
from men,
and thy dwelling shall be
with
the beasts
of
the field;
they shall
make thee
to eat grass
as oxen,
and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know
that
the Most High ruleth over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth it
to whomsoever
he
will.
\VS{33}The same hour
was
the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar;
and he
was driven from men,
and ate grass
as oxen;
and
his body
was bathed
with
the dew
of heaven, till
his hair grew like eagles' [feathers],
and
his nails like birds' [claws].
\VS{34}And at
the end
of
the days
I
Nebuchadnezzar
lifted up mine eyes unto
the
heavens,
and mine understanding returned unto me,
and
I blessed
the Most High,
and
I
praised
and honoured him
that liveth
for ever,
whose dominion
is an everlasting dominion,
and
his kingdom
is
from generation
to generation.
\VS{35}And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
\VS{36}At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.
\VS{37}Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Belshazzar
the
king
made
a
great
feast
to
a
thousand
of his
nobles,
and
drank
wine
before
the
thousand.
\VS{2}Belshazzar, while
he tasted
the
wine,
commanded
to
bring
the
golden
and
silver
vessels
that
Nebuchadnezzar
his
father
had
taken out
of
the
temple
which
was
in
Jerusalem;
that
the
king
and
his
nobles,
his
wives
and
his
concubines,
might
drink
in
them.
\VS{3}Then
they
brought
the
golden
vessels
that
were
taken out
of
the
temple
of
the
house
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:3 }
Elohim}God
which
was
at
Jerusalem;
and
the
king
and
his
nobles,
his
wives
and
his
concubines,
drank
in them.
\VS{4}They
drank
wine,
and
praised
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:4 }
Elohim}gods
of
gold
and
of
silver,
of brass,
of
iron,
of
wood,
and
of
stone.
\VS{5}In
the same hour
came
forth
fingers
of
a man's
hand,
and
wrote
over
against
the candlestick upon
the
plaster
of
the
wall
of
the king's
palace:
and
the
king
saw
the part
of
the
hand
that
wrote.
\VS{6}Then
the king's countenance
was
changed,
and his
thoughts
troubled him,
and
the
joints
of his loins
were
loosed,
and his knees smote
one against
another.
\VS{7}The
king cried
aloud
to
bring
in
the magicians,
the
Chaldeans,
and
the
astrologers.
The
king
spoke
and
said
to
the
wise
men
of
Babylon, Whosoever shall
read
this
writing,
and shew
me
the
interpretation thereof, shall be
clothed
with
purple,
and
have
a chain
of
gold
about
his
neck,
and shall be
the
third
ruler
in

kingdom.
\VS{8}Then
came
in
all
the king's
wise
men,
but
they
could
not
read
the
writing,
nor
make
known
to
the
king
the
interpretation.
\VS{9}Then
was
king
Belshazzar
greatly
troubled,
and
his countenance
was
changed
in him,
and
his
nobles
were confounded.
\VS{10}—
The
queen, by reason
of
the
words
of
the
king
and
his
nobles,
came
into
the banquet-house.
The
queen
spoke
and
said, O
king,
live
for
ever! let not thy
thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance
be
changed.
\VS{11}There
is
a
man
in thy
kingdom
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
the
holy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:11 }

and
in
the
days
of thy
father, light
and understanding
and
wisdom, like
the
wisdom
of
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:11 }
Elohim}gods
was
found
in
him;
and
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar thy
father, [even]
the
king thy
father,
made
him master
of
the scribes,
magicians,
Chaldeans, [and]
astrologers;
\VS{12}forasmuch
as an excellent
spirit,
and
knowledge,
and understanding, interpreting
of
dreams,
and shewing
of hard sentences,
and
solving
of
problems,
were
found
in
the same
Daniel,
whom
the
king
named
Belteshazzar.
Now
let
Daniel
be
called,
and
he
will shew
the
interpretation.
\VS{13}Then
was
Daniel
brought
in
before
the
king.
The
king
spoke
and
said unto
Daniel, Art thou
that
Daniel,
of
the
children
of
the captivity
of
Judah,
whom
the
king
my
father
brought out
of
Judah?
\VS{14}And
I have
heard
of thee,
that

spirit
of
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:14 }

is
in thee,
and [that] light
and understanding
and excellent
wisdom
is
found
in thee.
\VS{15}And
now
the
wise
men,
the magicians, have been
brought
in
before
me,
that
they should
read
this
writing,
and
make
known unto
me
the
interpretation thereof;
but
they
could
not shew
the
interpretation
of
the
thing.
\VS{16}But
I
have
heard
of thee,
that thou canst
give
interpretations,
and
solve
problems.
Now
if thou canst
read
the
writing,
and
make
known
to me
the
interpretation thereof, thou shalt
be
clothed
with
purple,
and
have a chain
of
gold
about thy
neck,
and shalt
be
the
third
ruler
in
the
kingdom.
\VS{17}Then
Daniel
answered
and
said
before
the
king, Let thy
gifts
be
to thyself,
and
give thy
rewards
to
another;
yet
will
I
read
the
writing
to
the
king,
and
make
known
to
him
the
interpretation.
\VS{18}O thou
king,
the
Most
High
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:18 }
Elohim}God
gave
Nebuchadnezzar thy
father
the
kingdom,
and
greatness,
and
glory,
and
majesty;
\VS{19}and
for
the
greatness
that
he
gave
him,
all
peoples,
nations,
and languages,
trembled
and
feared
before
him:
whom
he would
he
slew,
and
whom
he would
he
kept
alive;
and
whom
he would
he
exalted,
and
whom
he would
he
humbled.
\VS{20}But
when
his
heart
was
lifted up,
and
his
spirit hardened unto presumption,
he
was
deposed
from
the
throne
of
his
kingdom,
and
they took
his
glory
from
him;
\VS{21}and
he
was
driven
from
the
sons
of
men,
and
his
heart
was
made
like
the
beasts,
and
his
dwelling
was
with
the
wild asses;
they fed
him
with
grass
like oxen,
and
his
body
was bathed
with
the
dew
of
heaven; till
he
knew
that
the
Most
High
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:21 }
Elohim}God ruleth
over
the
kingdom
of
men,
and
that
he appointeth
over
it whomsoever
he
will.
\VS{22}And thou,
Belshazzar,
his
son, hast
not
humbled thy
heart,
although thou knewest
all
this;
\VS{23}but hast
lifted
up thyself
against
the
Lord
of
the
heavens;
and
they have
brought
the
vessels
of
his
house
before thee,
and thou
and thy
nobles, thy
wives
and thy
concubines, have drunk
wine
in them;
and thou hast
praised
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:23 }
Elohim}gods
of
silver
and
gold,
of brass,
iron,
wood,
and
stone,
which
see
not,
nor
hear,
nor
know;
and
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:23 }
Elohim}God
in
whose
hand thy breath
is,
and
whose
are
all thy
ways, hast thou
not
glorified:
\VS{24}then
from
before
him
was
sent
the
part
of
the
hand,
and
this
writing hath been
written.
\VS{25}And
this
is
the
writing
that
is
written:
MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
\VS{26}This
is
the
interpretation
of
the
thing:
MENE,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:26 }
Elohim}God hath
numbered thy
kingdom,
and finished it;
\VS{27}TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances,
and art
found wanting;

kingdom
is divided,
and
given
to
the
Medes
and
Persians.
\VS{29}Then
Belshazzar
commanded,
and
they
clothed
Daniel
with
purple,
and [put]
a chain
of
gold
about
his
neck,
and made
proclamation
concerning him
that
he should

in

\VS{30}In
that
night
was

slain.

and twenty satraps, who should be
in all
the
kingdom;
\VS{2}and
over these, three presidents —
of
whom Daniel
was one —
to
whom these
satraps should render
account,
and
that
the king should suffer no loss.
\VS{3}Now this
Daniel surpassed
the presidents
and
the
satraps,
because an excellent spirit
was
in
him;
and
the
king thought
to appoint
him
over
the whole realm.
\VS{4}Then
the presidents
and
the
satraps sought
to find
a pretext
against
Daniel
with respect
to
the
kingdom;
but
they
could not find
any pretext
or fault; inasmuch
as
he
was faithful, neither
was
there
any error
or fault found
in
him.
\VS{5}Then said these men,
We shall
not
find
any
pretext
against
this
Daniel, unless
we
find [it]
against him touching
the law
of
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:5 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{6}Then
these presidents
and satraps came
in
a body
to
the king,
and
said
thus unto him: King Darius, live
for ever!
\VS{7}All
the presidents
of
the kingdom,
the prefects,
and
the
satraps,
the counsellors,
and
the governors
have consulted together
to establish
a
royal statute,
and
to make
a firm decree,
that whosoever shall ask
a petition
of any
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:7 }
Elohim}god
or man
for thirty days, except
of thee, O
king,
he shall be cast into
the den
of lions.
\VS{8}Now, O
king,
establish
the decree,
and sign
the writing,
that it
be not changed,
according
to
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians,
which may not
be revoked.
\VS{9}Therefore
king Darius
signed
the
writing
and
the
decree.
\VS{10}And when Daniel knew
that
the
writing
was
signed, he went into
his house;
and,
his windows being open
in
his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on
his knees three times a day,
and prayed
and gave thanks
before
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:10 }
Elohim}God,
as he did aforetime.
\VS{11}But
those men
came
in
a body,
and found
Daniel
praying
and
making supplication
before
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:11 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{12}Then
they
came near,
and spoke
before
the king concerning
the king's decree: Hast thou not signed
a decree,
that every
man
that shall ask [anything]
of any
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:12 }
Elohim}god
or
man within thirty days, except
of thee, O king, shall
be cast into
the den
of lions?
The king answered
and said,
The thing
is true, according
to
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians, which may not
be revoked.
\VS{13}Then
they
answered
and
said
before
the
king,
That Daniel,
who
is
of
the children
of
the captivity
of Judah, regardeth
not thee, O
king,
nor
the
decree
that thou hast
signed,
but maketh
his
petition three times
a
day.
\VS{14}Then
the
king,
when
he heard these words,
was sore distressed thereby,
and
set
his heart
on
Daniel
to save
him;
and
he laboured till
the going down
of
the sun
to deliver
him.
\VS{15}Then these men came
in
a body unto
the
king,
and said unto
the
king, Know, O
king,
that
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians
is,
That no decree nor statute
which
the
king establisheth may
be changed.
\VS{16}Then
the
king
commanded,
and
they brought Daniel,
and cast [him] into
the den
of lions.
The
king
spoke
and
said unto Daniel, Thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:16 }
Elohim}God
whom thou servest continually,
he
will save thee.
\VS{17}And
a stone
was
brought,
and laid upon
the mouth
of
the
den;
and
the
king sealed
it
with
his own signet,
and
with
the signet
of
his nobles,
that
the purpose might not
be changed concerning
Daniel.
\VS{18}Then
the
king
went
to
his palace,
and passed
the night fasting;
neither
were concubines
brought before him;
and
his sleep fled
from him.
\VS{19}Then
the
king arose
with
the light at break
of day,
and
went
in haste unto
the den
of lions.
\VS{20}And
when
he came near unto
the
den,
he cried with
a mournful voice unto Daniel:
the
king spoke
and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant
of
the living
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:20 }
Elohim}God, hath thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:20 }
Elohim}God
whom thou servest continually been able
to save thee
from
the
lions?
\VS{21}Then
Daniel
spoke unto
the
king, O
king, live
for ever!
\VS{22}My
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:22 }
Elohim}God hath sent his angel,
and hath shut
the lions' mouths,
that
they
have not hurt me; forasmuch
as before him innocence
was found
in me;
and also before thee, O
king,
have
I done no hurt.
\VS{23}Thereupon
was
the
king exceeding glad,
and commanded
that
they
should take Daniel
up
out
of
the den.
So Daniel
was taken
up
out
of
the den,
and
no manner
of hurt
was
found upon
him,
because
he believed
in
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:23 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{24}And
the
king
commanded,
and
they brought
those men
who
had accused
Daniel,
and cast
them into
the
den
of lions,
them,
their children,
and
their wives;
and
the lions
had
the mastery
of
them,
and broke
all
their bones
in pieces ere
they came
to
the bottom
of
the
den.
\VS{25}Then
king Darius wrote unto
all peoples, nations,
and languages,
that dwell
in
all
the earth: Peace be multiplied unto
you.
\VS{26}I make
a decree,
That
in
every dominion
of
my kingdom men tremble
and fear before
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:26 }
Elohim}God
of Daniel;
for
he
is
the
living
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:26 }
Elohim}God,
and steadfast
for ever,
and
his kingdom [that]
which shall not be destroyed,
and
his dominion shall be
even unto
the end.
\VS{27}He saveth
and delivereth,
and
he worketh signs
and wonders
in
the heavens
and
on
the earth:
who hath saved
Daniel
from
the power
of
the lions.
\VS{28}And this
Daniel prospered
in
the reign
of Darius,
and
in
the reign
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
of
his
head upon
his
bed:
then
he
wrote
the
dream;
he
told
the sum
of
the matters.
\VS{2}Daniel
spoke
and
said, I
saw
in my
vision
by
night,
and
behold,
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens broke forth upon
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:
I beheld till
its
wings
were
plucked;
and
it
was
lifted up
from
the
earth,
and
made
to
stand upon two
feet
as
a
man,
and
a man's
heart
was
given
to
it.
\VS{5}And
behold,
another
beast,
a
second,
like unto
a
bear,
and
it
raised up itself on
one
side;
and [it had]
three
ribs
in
its
mouth
between
its
teeth;
and
they
said
thus unto
it:
Arise,
devour
much
flesh.
\VS{6}After
this
I
saw,
and
behold,
another,
like
a
leopard,
and
it
had
four
wings
of
a
bird upon its
back;
and
the
beast
had
four
heads;
and
dominion
was
given
to
it.
\VS{7}After
this
I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and
behold,
a
fourth
beast,
dreadful
and
terrible,
and exceeding
strong;
and it
had
great
iron
teeth: it
devoured
and broke
in pieces,
and stamped
the
rest with
its
feet;
and it
was
different
from
all
the
beasts
that
were
before it;
and it
had
ten
horns.
\VS{8}I considered
the
horns,
and
behold, there came
up
among them
another,
a
little
horn,
before which
three
of
the
first
horns
were plucked
up
by
the
roots;
and
behold, in
this
horn
were
eyes like
the
eyes
of
a
man,
and
a
mouth
speaking
great things.
\VS{9}I beheld till
thrones
were
set,
and
the
Ancient
of
days did
sit:
his raiment
was
white
as
snow,
and
the
hair
of
his
head
like
pure
wool;
his
throne
was
flames
of
fire, [and] its
wheels
burning
fire.
\VS{10}A stream
of
fire issued
and
came
forth
from
before
him;
thousand
thousands ministered unto
him,
and ten
thousand times ten
thousand
stood
before
him:
the
judgment
was
set,
and
the
books
were
opened.
\VS{11}I beheld
therefore,
because
of
the
voice
of
the
great
words
that
the
horn
spoke;
I beheld till
the
beast
was
slain,
and
its
body
destroyed,
and it
was
given up
to
be burned with
fire.
\VS{12}As
for
the
rest
of
the
beasts, their
dominion
was
taken
away; but their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a season
and
a
time.
\VS{13}I
saw in
the
night
visions,
and
behold, there
came
with
the
clouds
of
heaven [one] like
a
son
of
man,
and he
came
up even
to
the
Ancient
of
days,
and they
brought
him
near
before
him.
\VS{14}And
there
was
given
him
dominion,
and
glory,
and a
kingdom,
that
all
peoples,
nations,
and languages should
serve
him:
his
dominion
is an
everlasting
dominion,
which shall
not
pass
away,
and
his
kingdom [that]
which shall
not be
destroyed.
\VS{15}As for me
Daniel, my
spirit
was grieved
in the
midst
of my body,
and the
visions
of my
head
troubled me.
\VS{16}I
came
near unto
one
of
them
that
stood
by,
and
asked
him
the certainty
of
all
this.
And he
told me,
and
made me
know
the
interpretation
of
the
things:
\VS{17}These
great
beasts,
which
are
four,
are
four
kings, [that] shall
arise out
of
the
earth.
\VS{18}But
the
saints
of
the most high [places] shall
receive
the
kingdom,
and they shall
possess
the
kingdom
for
ever, even
to
the
ages
of
ages.
\VS{19}Then
I
desired
to
know
the certainty
concerning
the
fourth
beast,
which
was
different
from them
all, exceeding
dreadful,
whose
teeth
were
of
iron,
and
its
nails
of brass;
which
devoured, broke
in pieces,
and stamped
the
rest
with
its
feet;
\VS{20}and
concerning
the
ten
horns
that
were
in
its
head,
and
the other
that
came
up,
and
before
which
three
fell:
even
that
horn
that
had
eyes,
and a
mouth
speaking
great things,
and
whose look
was
more imposing
than
its fellows.
\VS{21}I beheld,
and
that
horn
made
war
with
the
saints,
and prevailed over
them;
\VS{22}until
the
Ancient
of
days
came,
and
judgment
was
given
to
the
saints
of
the most high [places];
and
the
appointed
time
arrived,
and
the
saints possessed
the
kingdom.
\VS{23}He
said
thus:
The
fourth
beast shall
be
a
fourth
kingdom upon
the
earth,
which shall
be
different
from
all
the
kingdoms,
and shall
devour
the
whole
earth,
and shall
tread
it
down,
and break
it
in pieces.
\VS{24}And
as
to
the
ten
horns, out
of
this
kingdom shall
arise
ten
kings;
and
another shall
arise
after them;
and
he shall be
different
from
the former,
and
he shall
subdue
three
kings.
\VS{25}And he shall
speak
words
against
the
Most
High,
and shall
wear out
the
saints
of
the
most
high [places],
and think
to
change seasons
and
the
law;
and they shall be
given into his
hand
until
a
time
and
times
and
a
half
time.
\VS{26}And
the
judgment shall
sit,
and they shall take
away his
dominion,
to consume
and
to
destroy it unto
the
end.
\VS{27}But
the
kingdom
and
the
dominion,
and
the
greatness
of
the
kingdoms
under
the
whole
heavens, shall be
given
to
the
people
of
the
saints
of
the most high [places].
His
kingdom
is an
everlasting
kingdom,
and
all
dominions shall
serve
and
obey
him.
\VS{28}So far
is
the
end
of
the
matter.
As
for me
Daniel,
my
thoughts
much
troubled me,
and
my countenance
was
changed
in me;
but
I
kept
the
matter
in
my heart.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
the
reign
of
Belshazzar
the
king,
a
vision
appeared unto
me, [even]
to
me
Daniel,
after
that which
appeared unto
me
at
the
first.
\VS{2}And
I
saw
in
the
vision;
and
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
saw,
that
I
was
in
the
fortress
of Shushan,
which
is
in
the
province
of
Elam.
And
I
saw
in
the
vision,
and
I
was
by
the river
Ulai.
\VS{3}And
I
lifted
up
mine
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
there
stood
before
the river
a
ram
which
had
two
horns;
and
the
two
horns
were
high;
and
one
was
higher
than
the
other,
and
the
higher
came
up
last.
\VS{4}I
saw
the
ram pushing
westward,
and
northward,
and
southward,
and
no
beast
could
stand
before
him,
neither
was
there
any
that
could
deliver
out
of
his
hand;
and
he
did
according
to
his
will,
and
became
great.
\VS{5}And
as
I
was considering,
behold,
a he-goat
came
from
the
west
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth,
and
touched
not
the
ground:
and
the
goat
had
a notable
horn
between
his
eyes.
\VS{6}And
he
came
to
the
ram
that
had
the two
horns,
which
I
had
seen
standing
before
the
river,
and
ran
upon
him
in
the
fury
of
his
power.
\VS{7}And
I
saw
him
come
close
to
the
ram,
and
he
was
enraged
with
him,
and
smote
the
ram,
and
broke
his
two
horns;
and
there
was
no
power
in
the
ram
to
stand
before
him;
and
he
cast
him
down
to
the
ground,
and
trampled
upon
him;
and
there
was
none
that
could
deliver
the
ram
out
of
his
hand.
\VS{8}And
the he-goat
became
exceeding
great;
but
when
he
was
become
strong,
the
great
horn
was
broken;
and
in
its
stead
came
up
four notable
ones
toward
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens.
\VS{9}And
out
of
one
of
them
came
forth
a little
horn,
which
became exceeding
great,
toward
the
south,
and
toward
the
east,
and
toward
the beauty [of
the earth].
\VS{10}And
it
became
great,
even
to
the
host
of
heaven;
and
it
cast
down [some]
of
the
host
and
of
the
stars
to
the
ground,
and
trampled
upon
them.
\VS{11}(And
he
magnified [himself]
even
to
the
prince
of
the
host,
and
from
him
the
continual [sacrifice]
was taken
away,
and
the
place
of
his
sanctuary
was
cast
down.
\VS{12}And
a time
of trial
was
appointed unto
the
continual [sacrifice]
by
reason
of
transgression.)
And
it
cast
down
the
truth
to
the
ground;
and
it practised
and prospered.
\VS{13}And
I
heard
one saint
speaking,
and
another saint
said unto
that
one
who
spoke,
How
long shall
be
the
vision
of
the
continual [sacrifice]
and
of
the
transgression
that maketh
desolate,
to
give both
the
sanctuary
and
the
host
to
be trodden
down under foot?
\VS{14}And
he
said unto
me,
Until
two
thousand
and
three
hundred
evenings [and]
mornings:
then shall
the
sanctuary be
vindicated.
\VS{15}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
Daniel
had
seen
the
vision,
I
sought
for
the
understanding
of
it,
and
behold,
there
stood
before
me
as
the
appearance
of
a
man.
\VS{16}And
I
heard
a man's
voice
between [the banks
of]
the
Ulai;
and
he
called
and
said,
Gabriel,
make
this [man]
to
understand
the
vision.
\VS{17}And
he
came
near
where
I
stood;
and
when
he
came,
I
was afraid,
and
fell
on
my
face;
and
he
said unto
me,
Understand,
son
of
man;
for
the
vision
is
for
the
time
of
the
end.
\VS{18}Now,
as
he
was
speaking
with
me,
I
was
in
a deep stupor,
with
my
face
toward
the
ground.
And
he
touched
me,
and
set
me
up
where
I
had
stood.
\VS{19}And
he
said,
Behold,
I
will
make thee
know
what
shall
be
at
the
end
of
the
indignation:
for
at
the
set
time
the
end
shall
be.
\VS{20}The
ram
that thou sawest
having
the two
horns:
they
are
the
kings
of
Media
and
Persia.
\VS{21}And
the rough
goat
is
the
king
of
Greece;
and
the
great
horn
that
was
between
his
eyes
is
the
first
king.
\VS{22}Now
that being
broken,
whereas
four
stood
up
in
its
stead,
four
kingdoms
shall
stand
up
out
of
the
nation,
but
not
with
his
power.
\VS{23}And
at
the
latter time
of
their
kingdom,
when
the
transgressors
shall
have
come
to
the
full,
a
king
of bold
countenance,
and
understanding
riddles,
shall
stand
up.
\VS{24}And
his
power
shall
be
mighty,
but
not
by
his own
power;
and
he
shall
destroy marvellously,
and
shall
prosper,
and
shall practise,
and
shall
destroy
the
mighty
ones,
and
the
people
of
the
saints.
\VS{25}And
through
his cunning
shall
he
cause craft
to
prosper
in
his
hand;
and
he
will
magnify [himself]
in
his
heart,
and
by
prosperity
will
corrupt
many;
and
he
will
stand
up
against
the
Prince
of
princes:
but
he
shall
be
broken
without
hand.
\VS{26}And
the
vision
of
the
evening
and
the
morning
which hath
been
told
is
true;
but
close thou
up
the
vision,
for
it
is
for
many
days [to come].
\VS{27}And
I
Daniel fainted,
and
was
sick [certain]
days:
then
I
rose
up,
and
did
the king's
business.
And
I
was
astonished
at
the
vision,
but
none
understood [it].

understood
by
the
books
that
the
number
of
the
years, whereof
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
for
the accomplishment
of
the
desolations
of
Jerusalem,
was
seventy
years.
\VS{3}And
I
set
my
face unto
the
Lord
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
to
seek
by
prayer
and
supplications,
with
fasting,
and
sackcloth,
and
ashes;
\VS{4}and
I
prayed unto
Jehovah
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
made
my
confession,
and
said,
Alas
Lord!
the
great
and terrible
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 9:4 }

El|strong="H0410"}God,
keeping
covenant
and loving-kindness
with
them
that
love
him,
and
that
keep
his
commandments:
\VS{5}we have
sinned,
and have
committed iniquity,
and have
done
wickedly,
and have
rebelled, even
turning
aside
from thy
commandments
and
from thine
ordinances.
\VS{6}And
we
have
not hearkened unto thy
servants
the
prophets,
who
spoke
in thy
name
to
our
kings,
our
princes,
and
our
fathers,
and
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{7}Thine,
O
Lord,
is
the
righteousness,
but unto
us confusion
of
face,
as
at
this
day,
to
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and unto
all
Israel,
that
are
near,
and
that
are
far
off,
in
all
the
countries whither thou hast
driven
them,
because
of
their
unfaithfulness
in
which
they
have
been
unfaithful
against thee.
\VS{8}O
Lord, unto
us
is confusion
of
face,
to
our
kings,
to
our
princes,
and
to
our
fathers,
because
we
have
sinned
against thee.
\VS{9}With
the
Lord
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
are
mercies
and pardons,
for
we
have
rebelled
against
him;
\VS{10}and
we
have
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
to walk
in
his
laws,
which
he
set
before
us
through
his
servants
the
prophets.
\VS{11}And
all
Israel
have transgressed thy
law,
even
turning
aside
so
as
not
to
listen unto thy
voice.
And
the
curse hath
been
poured
out
upon
us,
and
the
oath
that
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses
the
servant
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God:
for
we
have
sinned
against
him.
\VS{12}And
he hath performed
his
words,
which
he
spoke
against
us,
and
against
our
judges
that
judged
us,
by
bringing
upon
us
a
great
evil;
so
that
there hath
not
been
done
under
the
whole
heaven
as hath
been
done
upon
Jerusalem.
\VS{13}As
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
all
this
evil
is
come
upon
us;
yet
we besought
not
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
that
we
might
turn
from
our
iniquities,
and
understand thy
truth.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah hath
watched
over
the
evil,
and
brought
it
upon
us;
for
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
righteous
in
all
his
works
which
he hath
done;
and
we
have
not hearkened unto
his
voice.
\VS{15}—
And
now,
O
Lord
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
who broughtest thy
people
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
a
strong
hand,
and hast
made thee
a
name,
as
it
is
this
day, —
we
have
sinned,
we
have
done
wickedly.
\VS{16}Lord, according
to
all thy righteousnesses,
I
beseech thee,
let thine
anger
and thy
fury
be
turned
away
from thy
city
Jerusalem, thy
holy
mountain;
for
because
of
our
sins,
and
because
of
the
iniquities
of
our
fathers,
Jerusalem
and thy
people [are
become]
a
reproach
to
all
round
about
us.
\VS{17}And
now,
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God, hearken
to
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
and
to
his
supplications,
and cause thy
face
to
shine
upon thy
sanctuary
that
is
desolate,
for
the Lord's
sake.
\VS{18}Incline thine
ear,
O
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
hear;
open thine
eyes
and
behold
our desolations,
and
the
city
that
is
called
by thy
name:
for
we
do
not
present
our
supplications
before thee
because
of
our righteousnesses,
but
because
of thy manifold
mercies.
\VS{19}Lord,
hear!
Lord,
forgive!
Lord, hearken
and
do! defer
not,
for thine own
sake,
O
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God!
for thy
city
and thy
people
are
called
by thy
name.
\VS{20}And whilst
I
was
speaking,
and
praying,
and
confessing
my
sin
and
the
sin
of
my
people
Israel,
and
presenting
my
supplication
before
Jehovah
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
for
the
holy
mountain
of
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
\VS{21}whilst
I
was
yet
speaking
in
prayer,
the
man
Gabriel,
whom
I
had
seen
in
the
vision
at
the
beginning, flying swiftly,
touched
me
about
the
time
of
the
evening oblation.
\VS{22}And
he
informed [me],
and
talked
with
me,
and
said,
Daniel,
I am
now
come
forth
to make thee skilful
of
understanding.
\VS{23}At
the
beginning
of thy
supplications
the
word
went
forth,
and
I
am
come
to
declare [it];
for thou art
one greatly beloved.
Therefore
consider
the
word,
and
have
understanding
in
the
vision:
\VS{24}Seventy
weeks
are apportioned
out
upon thy
people
and
upon thy
holy
city,
to close
the
transgression,
and
to make
an end
of
sins,
and
to make expiation
for
iniquity,
and
to
bring
in
the
righteousness
of
the
ages,
and
to
seal
the
vision
and
prophet,
and
to
anoint
the
holy
of
holies.
\VS{25}Know
therefore
and
understand:
From
the
going
forth
of
the
word
to
restore
and
to
build
Jerusalem unto
Messiah,
the
Prince,
are
seven
weeks,
and sixty-two
weeks.
The
street
and
the moat
shall
be
built
again,
even
in troublous
times.
\VS{26}And
after
the sixty-two
weeks
shall
Messiah
be
cut
off,
and
shall
have
nothing;
and
the
people
of
the
prince
that
shall
come
shall
destroy
the
city
and
the
sanctuary;
and
the
end thereof
shall
be
with
an overflow,
and unto
the
end,
war, —
the
desolations
determined.
\VS{27}And
he shall confirm
a
covenant
with
the
many [for]
one
week;
and
in
the
midst
of
the
week
he shall cause
the
sacrifice
and
the oblation
to
cease,
and
because
of
the protection
of
abominations [there shall
be]
a desolator,
even
until
that
the consumption
and
what
is
determined shall
be
poured
out
upon
the
desolate.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
third
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia
a
thing
was
revealed unto
Daniel,
whose
name
was
called
Belteshazzar;
and
the
thing
is
true,
but
the appointed
time
of trial
is long;
and
he
understood
the
thing,
and
had
understanding
of
the
vision.
\VS{2}In
those
days
I
Daniel
was
mourning
three
full
weeks:
\VS{3}I
ate
no pleasant
bread,
neither
came
flesh
nor
wine
into
my
mouth,
neither
did
I
anoint
myself
at
all,
till
three
full
weeks
were
fulfilled.
\VS{4}And
on
the four-and-twentieth
day
of
the
first
month,
I
was
by
the
side
of
the
great
river,
which
is Hiddekel:
\VS{5}and
I
lifted
up mine
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
certain
man
clothed
in
linen,
and
his
loins
were
girded
with
pure
gold
of
Uphaz;
\VS{6}and
his body
was
like
a chrysolite,
and
his
face
as
the
appearance
of
lightning,
and
his
eyes
as
torches
of
fire,
and
his
arms
and
his
feet
as
the
look
of
burnished
brass,
and
the
voice
of
his
words
like
the
voice
of
a
multitude.
\VS{7}And
I
Daniel
alone
saw
the
vision;
and
the
men
that
were
with
me
saw
not
the
vision,
but
a
great quaking
fell
on
them,
and
they
fled
to
hide
themselves.
\VS{8}And
I
was
left
alone,
and
saw
this
great
vision,
and
there
remained
no
strength
in
me;
and
my comeliness
was
turned
in
me
into corruption,
and
I
retained
no
strength.
\VS{9}And
I
heard
the
voice
of
his
words;
and
when
I
heard
the
voice
of
his
words,
I
fell
into
a deep stupor
on
my
face,
and
my
face
to
the
ground.
\VS{10}And
behold,
a
hand
touched
me, which
set
me
upon
my
knees
and
the
palms
of
my
hands.
\VS{11}And
he
said unto
me, O
Daniel,
man greatly beloved,
understand
the
words
which
I
speak unto thee,
and
stand
upright;
for unto thee
am
I
now
sent.
And
as
he
spoke
this
word unto
me,
I
stood
trembling.
\VS{12}And
he
said unto
me,
Fear
not,
Daniel;
for
from
the
first
day
that thou didst
set thy
heart
to
understand,
and
to humble thyself
before thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 10:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God, thy
words
were
heard,
and
I
am
come
because
of thy
words.
\VS{13}But
the
prince
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia withstood
me
one
and
twenty
days;
and
behold,
Michael,
one
of
the
chief
princes,
came
to
help
me;
and
I
remained
there
with
the
kings
of
Persia.
\VS{14}And
I am
come
to
make thee
understand
what
shall befall thy
people
at
the
end
of
the
days:
for
the
vision
is
yet
for [many]
days.
\VS{15}And
as
he
was
speaking
with
me according
to
these
words,
I
set
my
face
toward
the
ground,
and
I
became dumb.
\VS{16}And
behold,
one
after
the
likeness
of
the
sons
of
men
touched
my
lips;
and
I
opened
my
mouth
and
spoke,
and
said unto
him
that
stood
before
me,
My
lord,
by
reason
of
the
vision
my
pains
are
turned
upon
me,
and
I
retain
no
strength.
\VS{17}And
how
can
the
servant
of
this
my
lord
talk
with
this
my
lord?
for
as
for
me, straightway
there remaineth
no
strength
in
me,
neither
is
there
breath
left
in
me.
\VS{18}Then there
touched
me
again
one
like
the
appearance
of
a
man,
and
he
strengthened
me;
\VS{19}and
he
said,
Fear
not,
man greatly beloved;
peace
be unto thee,
be
strong,
yea,
be
strong.
And
as
he
was
speaking
with
me
I
was
strengthened,
and
I
said,
Let
my
lord
speak;
for thou hast
strengthened
me.
\VS{20}And
he
said, Knowest thou wherefore
I
am
come unto thee?
And
now
I
return
to
fight
with
the
prince
of
Persia;
and
when
I
go
forth,
behold,
the
prince
of
Greece
shall
come.
\VS{21}However,
I
will
declare unto thee
that
which
is set
down
in
the scripture
of
truth;
and
there
is
not
one
that sheweth
himself
strong
with
me
against
these,
but
Michael
your
prince.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
I,
in
the
first
year
of
Darius
the
Mede,
I
stood
to confirm
and
to
strengthen
him.
\VS{2}And
now
will
I
declare unto thee
the
truth.
Behold,
there
shall
stand
up
yet
three
kings
in
Persia;
and
the
fourth
shall
enrich himself
with
great
riches
more
than
all;
and
when
he hath
become
strong
through
his
riches,
he
shall
stir
up
all
against
the
realm
of
Greece.
\VS{3}And
a
mighty
king
shall
stand
up
that
shall
rule
with
great
dominion,
and
do according
to
his
will.
\VS{4}And
when
he
shall
stand
up,
his
kingdom
shall
be
broken,
and
shall
be
divided toward
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens;
but
not
to
his
posterity,
nor according
to
his
dominion wherewith
he
ruled;
for
his
kingdom
shall
be
plucked
up,
even
for
others beside
these.
\VS{5}And
the
king
of
the
south,
who
is
one
of
his
princes,
shall
be
strong;
but [another]
shall
be
stronger
than
he,
and
have
dominion:
his
dominion
shall
be
a
great
dominion.
\VS{6}And
after
the course
of
years
they
shall
join affinity;
and
the king's
daughter
of
the
south
shall
come
to
the
king
of
the
north
to
make equitable conditions:
but
she
shall
not
retain
the
strength
of
her
arm;
neither
shall
he
stand,
nor
his
arm;
and
she
shall
be
given
up,
she
and
they
that
brought
her,
and
he
that begat
her,
and
he
that
strengthened
her
in [those]
times.
\VS{7}But
out
of
a shoot
from
her
roots
shall
one
stand
up
in
his
place,
who
shall
come
to
the
army,
and
shall
enter
into
the
fortress
of
the
king
of
the
north,
and
shall
deal
against
them,
and shew
himself
mighty.
\VS{8}He
shall
also
carry captive
into
Egypt
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
with
their princes,
and
their
precious
vessels
of
silver
and
of
gold;
and
he
shall subsist
for
more
years
than
the
king
of
the
north;
\VS{9}and [the same]
shall
come
into
the
realm
of
the
king
of
the
south,
but
shall
return
into
his own
land.
\VS{10}And
his
sons
shall
be stirred
up,
and
shall
assemble
a
multitude
of
great
forces;
and
one
shall
certainly
come,
and
overflow,
and
pass
through;
and
he
shall
return
and
carry
the
war
even
to
his
fortress.
\VS{11}And
the
king
of
the
south
shall
be
enraged,
and
shall
come
forth
and
fight
with
him,
with
the
king
of
the
north,
who
shall
set
forth
a
great
multitude,
but
the
multitude
shall
be
given
into
his
hand.
\VS{12}And
when
the
multitude
shall
have
been
taken
away,
his
heart
shall
be
exalted;
and
he
shall
cast
down
myriads;
but
he
shall
not
prevail.
\VS{13}For
the
king
of
the
north
shall
return,
and
shall
set forth
a
multitude
greater
than
the
former;
and
shall
certainly
come
at
the
end
of
the
times
of
years
with
a
great
army
and
with
much
substance.
\VS{14}And
in
those
times
shall
many
stand
up
against
the
king
of
the
south;
and
the
violent
of thy
people
will
exalt
themselves
to
establish
the
vision;
but
they
shall
fall.
\VS{15}And
the
king
of
the
north
shall
come,
and
cast
up
a mound,
and
take
the well-fenced
city;
and
the
arms
of
the
south
shall
not
withstand,
neither
his chosen
people,
for
there
shall
be
no
strength
to
withstand.
\VS{16}And
he
that cometh
against
him
shall
do
according
to
his
own
will,
and
none
shall
stand
before
him;
and
he
shall
stand
in
the
land
of beauty,
and
destruction
shall
be
in
his
hand.
\VS{17}And
he
shall
set
his
face
to
come
with
the strength
of
his
whole
kingdom,
and
upright
ones
with
him;
and
he
shall practise;
and
he
shall
give
him
the
daughter
of
women,
to
corrupt
her;
but
she
shall
not
stand,
neither
shall
she
be
for
him.
\VS{18}And
he
shall
turn
his
face unto
the
isles,
and
shall
take
many;
but
a
captain
for
his
own behalf
shall
cause
the
reproach offered
by
him
to
cease:
he
shall
turn
it upon
him,
without
reproach
for
himself.
\VS{19}And
he
shall
turn
his
face
toward
the
fortresses
of
his
own
land;
and
he
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
not
be
found.
\VS{20}And
in
his
place
shall
one
stand
up
who
shall cause
the exactor
to
pass
through
the glory
of
the
kingdom;
but
in
a
few
days
he
shall
be
broken,
neither
in
anger
nor
in
battle.
\VS{21}And
in
his
place
shall
stand
up
a vile
person,
to whom
they
shall
not
give
the honour
of
the
kingdom;
but
he
shall
come
in peaceably
and obtain
the
kingdom
by flatteries.
\VS{22}And
the
overflowing
forces
shall
be overflowed
from
before
him,
and
shall
be
broken: yea,
also
the
prince
of
the
covenant.
\VS{23}And
after
the league
made
with
him
he
shall work
deceitfully,
and
he
shall
come
up,
and
shall become
strong
with
a
small
people.
\VS{24}In
time
of peace
shall
he
enter
even
into
the fattest places
of
the
province;
and
he
shall
do
that
which
his
fathers
have
not
done,
nor
his fathers'
fathers:
he
shall scatter
among
them prey,
and
spoil,
and substance,
and
he
shall
plan
his devices
against
the
fortified places,
even
for
a
time.
\VS{25}And
he
shall
stir
up
his
power
and
his
courage
against
the
king
of
the
south
with
a
great
army;
and
the
king
of
the
south
shall engage
in
battle
with
an
exceeding
great
and
mighty
army;
but
he
shall
not
stand,
for
they
shall
plan devices
against
him.
\VS{26}And
they
that
eat
of
his delicate
food shall
break
him,
and
his
army shall
be dissolved;
and
many shall
fall
down
slain.
\VS{27}And
both
these kings'
hearts [shall
meditate] mischief,
and
they
shall
speak
lies
at
one
table;
but
it
shall
not
prosper;
for
yet
the
end
shall
be
at
the
time
appointed.
\VS{28}And
he
shall
return
into
his
land
with
great substance;
and
his
heart
shall
be
against
the
holy
covenant;
and
he
shall practise,
and
return
to
his own
land.
\VS{29}At
the
set
time
he
shall
return,
and
come towards
the
south;
but
not
as
the
former
time
shall
be
the
latter;
\VS{30}for
ships
of Chittim shall
come
against
him;
and
he shall
be grieved,
and
return,
and
have
indignation
against
the
holy
covenant;
and
will practise;
and
he shall
return
and direct
his
attention
to
those
that
forsake
the
holy
covenant.
\VS{31}And
forces shall
stand
on
his
part,
and
they shall
profane
the
sanctuary,
the
fortress,
and shall
take
away
the
continual [sacrifice],
and
they shall
place
the
abomination
that maketh
desolate.
\VS{32}And such
as
do
wickedly against
the
covenant
shall
he pervert
by flatteries;
but
the
people
that
know
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:32 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
shall
be
strong,
and
shall
act.
\VS{33}And
they
that
are
wise among
the
people
shall
instruct
the
many;
and
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
by
flame,
by
captivity,
and
by
spoil, [many]
days.
\VS{34}And
when
they
fall,
they shall
be
helped
with
a
little
help;
but
many shall cleave
to
them
with flatteries.
\VS{35}And [some]
of
the
wise
shall
fall,
to try
them,
and
to
purge
and
to
make
them
white,
to
the
time
of
the
end:
for
it
shall
yet
be
for
the
time
appointed.
\VS{36}And
the
king
shall
do
according
to
his
will;
and
he
shall
exalt
himself,
and
magnify
himself
above
every
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 11:36 }

El|strong="H0410"}god,
and
speak
monstrous
things
against
the
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 11:36 }

El|strong="H0410"}God
of
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 11:36 }

El|strong="H0410"}gods;
and
he
shall
prosper
until
the
indignation
be
accomplished:
for
that which
is
determined
shall
be
done.
\VS{37}And
he
will
not
regard
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:37 }

Elohim|strong="H0433"}God
of
his
fathers,
nor
the
desire
of
women;
nor
regard
any
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 11:37 }
Eloah}god:
for
he
will
magnify
himself
above
all.
\VS{38}And
in
his
place
will
he honour
the
\FTNT{†}{{\FR 11:38 }
Eloah}god
of
fortresses;
and
a
\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 11:38 }
Eloah}god
whom
his
fathers
knew
not
will
he honour
with
gold
and
silver,
and
with
precious
stones
and pleasant
things.
\VS{39}And
he
will practise
in
the
strongholds
of
fortresses
with
a
strange
\FTNT{§}{{\FR 11:39 }
Eloah}god: whoso acknowledgeth
him
will
he
increase
with
glory;
and
he
shall cause
them
to
rule
over
the
many,
and
shall
divide
the
land [to
them]
for
a reward.
\VS{40}And
at
the
time
of
the
end
shall
the
king
of
the
south
push
at
him;
and
the
king
of
the
north
shall
come
against
him
like
a whirlwind,
with
chariots,
and
with
horsemen,
and
with
many
ships;
and
he
shall
enter
into
the
countries,
and
overflow
and
pass
through.
\VS{41}And
he
shall
enter
into
the
land
of beauty,
and
many [countries]
shall
be
overthrown;
but
these
shall
escape
out
of
his
hand:
Edom,
and
Moab,
and
the chief
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
\VS{42}And
he
shall
stretch
forth
his
hand
upon
the
countries;
and
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
not
escape.
\VS{43}And
he
shall
have power
over
the
treasures
of
gold
and
of
silver,
and
over
all
the
precious
things
of
Egypt;
and
the
Libyans
and
the
Ethiopians
shall
be
at
his
steps.
\VS{44}But
tidings
out
of
the
east
and
out
of
the
north shall trouble
him;
and
he shall
go
forth
with
great
fury
to
exterminate,
and
utterly
to
destroy
many.
\VS{45}And
he
shall
plant
the
tents
of
his palace
between
the
sea
and
the
mountain
of
holy beauty;
and
he
shall
come
to
his
end,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
help
him.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
at
that
time
shall
Michael
stand
up,
the
great
prince
who standeth
for
the
children
of thy
people;
and
there
shall
be
a
time
of
distress,
such
as
never
was
since
there
was
a
nation
until
that
time.
And
at
that
time thy
people
shall
be
delivered,
every
one
that
is
found
written
in
the
book.
\VS{2}And
many
of them that
sleep
in
the
dust
of
the
earth
shall awake,
some
to
everlasting
life,
and
some
to
shame,
to
everlasting
contempt.
\VS{3}And they that
are
wise
shall shine as
the
brightness
of
the
expanse;
and they that turn
the
many
to
righteousness as
the
stars,
for
ever
and
ever.
\VS{4}And thou,
Daniel,
close
the
words,
and
seal
the
book,
till
the
time
of
the
end.
Many
shall run
to
and fro,
and
knowledge
shall
be
increased.
\VS{5}And
I
Daniel
looked,
and
behold,
there
stood
other
two,
the
one
on
this
side,
on
the
bank
of
the
river,
and
the
other
on
that
side,
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
above
the
waters
of
the
river,
How
long [is
it
to]
the
end
of
these
wonders?
\VS{7}And
I
heard
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
above
the
waters
of
the
river;
and
he
held
up
his
right
hand
and
his
left
hand unto
the
heavens,
and
swore
by
him
that liveth
for
ever
that
it
is
for
a
time,
times,
and
a
half;
and
when
the scattering
of
the
power
of
the
holy
people
shall
be
accomplished,
all
these
things
shall
be
finished.
\VS{8}And
I
heard,
but
I
understood
not.
And
I
said,
My
lord,
what
shall
be
the
end
of
these
things?
\VS{9}And
he
said, Go thy
way,
Daniel;
for
these
words
are
closed
and
sealed
till
the
time
of
the
end.
\VS{10}Many
shall
be
purified,
and
be
made
white,
and
be
refined;
but
the
wicked
shall
do
wickedly:
and
none
of
the
wicked
shall
understand;
but
the
wise
shall
understand.
\VS{11}And
from
the
time
that
the
continual [sacrifice]
is
taken
away,
and
the
abomination
that maketh
desolate
set
up, [there
shall
be]
a
thousand,
two
hundred,
and
ninety
days.
\VS{12}Blessed
is
he
that waiteth,
and cometh
to
the
thousand
three
hundred
and thirty-five
days!
\VS{13}But do thou go thy way until
the
end;
and thou shalt
rest,
and
stand
in thy
lot
at
the
end
of
the
days.
