Daniel 4:1-20

2 Another dream of Nebuchadnezzar, which Daniel declareth.

I Nebuchadnezzar being at [a]rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace,

[a] There was no trouble that might cause me to dream,
and therefore it came only of God.

Saw a [b]dream, which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed, and the visions of mine head troubled me.

[b] This was another dream besides
that which he saw of the four Empires,
for Daniel both declared what that dream was,
and what it meant, and here he only expoundeth the dream.

Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before me, that they might declare unto me the interpretation of the dream.

So came the enchanters, the astrologians, the Chaldeans and the soothsayers, to whom I told the dream, but [c]they could not show me the interpretation thereof,

[c] In that that he sent abroad to others,
whose ignorance in times past he had experimented,
and left Daniel which was ever ready at hand,
it declareth the nature of the ungodly,
which never seek to the servants of God,
but for very necessity, and then they spare no flatterings.

Till at the last Daniel came before me, (whose name was [d]Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, which hath the spirit of the holy gods in him) and before him I told the dream, saying,

[d] This no doubt was a great grief to Daniel
not only to have his name changed,
but to be called by the name of a vile idol,
which thing Nebuchadnezzar did
to make him forget the true religion of God.

O Belteshazzar, [e]chief of the enchanters, because I know, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream, that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

[e] Which also was a great grief
to the Prophet to be numbered among the sorcerers
and men whose practices were wicked and contrary to God’s word.

Thus were the visions of my head in my bed, and behold, I saw a [f]tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great:

[f] By the tree is signified the dignity
of a king whom God ordaineth to be a defense
for all kind of men, and whose state is profitable for mankind.

A great tree and strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ends of all the earth.

The boughs thereof were fair and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: it made a shadow under it for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh fed of it.

10 I saw in the visions of mine head upon my bed, and behold, a [g]watchman and an holy one came down from heaven,

[g] Meaning the Angel of God,
which neither eateth nor sleepeth,
but is ever ready to do God’s will,
and is not infected with man’s corruption,
but is ever holy: and in that that
he commandeth to cut down this tree,
he knew that it should not be cut down by man,
but by God.

11 And cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and break off his branches: shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit, that the beasts may flee from under it, and the fowls from his branches.

12 Nevertheless, leave the stump of his roots in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass bind it among the grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts among the grass of the field.

13 [h]Let his heart be changed from man’s nature, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him, and let seven times be passed over him.

[h] Hereby he meaneth that Nebuchadnezzar
should not only for a time lose his kingdom,
but be like a beast.

14 [i]The sentence is according to the decree of the watchmen, and according to the word of the holy ones: the demand was answered, to the intent that living men may know, that the most High hath power over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and appointeth over it the most abject among men.

[i] God hath decreed this judgment and the whole army
of heaven have as it were subscribed unto it,
like as also they desire the execution of his decree
against all them that lift up themselves against God.

15 This is the dream, that I King Nebuchadnezzar have seen: therefore thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof: for all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to show me the interpretation: but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

16 Then Daniel (whose name was Belteshazzar) held his [j]peace by the space of one hour, and his thoughts troubled him, and the King spake and said, Belteshazzar, let neither the dream, nor the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

[j] He was troubled for the great judgment of God,
which he saw ordained against the king,
and so the Prophets used on the one part
to denounce God’s judgments for the zeal they bare to his glory,
and on the other part to have compassion upon man,
and also to consider that they should be subject to God’s judgments,
if he did not regard them with pity.

17 The tree that thou sawest, which was great and mighty, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof through all the world,

18 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all, under the which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven did sit,

19 It is thou, O king, that art great and mighty: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the ends of the earth.

20 Whereas the King saw a watchman, and an holy one that came down from heaven, and said, Hew down the tree, and destroy it, yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass bind it among the grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, [k]till seven times pass over him.

[k] Whereby he meaneth a long space, as seven years.
Some interpret seven months, and others seven weeks,
but it seemeth he means of years.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
