Daniel


  • |Daniel 2:1| In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had a series of dreams; he was perturbed by this and sleep deserted him.

  • |Daniel 2:2| The king then had magicians and soothsayers, sorcerers and Chaldaeans summoned to tell him what his dreams meant. They arrived and stood in the king's presence.

  • |Daniel 2:3| The king said to them, 'I have had a dream, and my mind is troubled by a wish to understand it.'

  • |Daniel 2:4| The Chaldaeans answered the king: 'May your majesty live for ever! Tell your servants the dream, and we shall reveal its meaning for you.'

  • |Daniel 2:5| The king answered the Chaldaeans, 'This is my firm resolve: if you cannot tell me what I dreamt and what it means, I shall have you torn limb from limb and your houses turned into dunghills.

  • |Daniel 2:6| If, on the other hand, you can tell me what I dreamt and what it means, I shall give you presents, rewards and high honour. So tell me what I dreamt and what it means.'

  • |Daniel 2:7| A second time they said, 'Let the king tell his dream to his servants, and we shall reveal its meaning.'

  • |Daniel 2:8| But the king retorted, 'It is plain to me that you are trying to gain time, knowing my proclaimed resolve.

  • |Daniel 2:9| If you do not interpret my dream for me, there will be but one sentence passed on you all; you have agreed among yourselves to make me misleading and tortuous speeches while the time goes by. So tell me what my dream was, and then I shall know whether you can interpret it.'

  • |Daniel 2:10| The Chaldaeans answered the king, 'Nobody in the world could explain the king's problem; what is more, no other king, governor or chief would think of putting such a question to any magician, soothsayer or Chaldaean.
