Daniel

1. Nebuchadnezzar the king, to the peoples, nations and languages that dwell in all the earth:  (Dan. 3:4;   Dan. 6:25)  Peace be multiplied to you.
2. I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.  (Dan. 3:26)
3. How great are His sings, and how mighty His wonders!  (2 Sam. 7:16)  His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.
4. I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
   
5. I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.  (Dan. 2:1)
   
6. Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
   
7. Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.  (Dan. 2:2)
   
17. 'This decision is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones, in order that  the living may know  (Ps. 9:16;   Ps. 83:18)  that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will,  (Jer. 27:5-7;   Dan. 2:21;   Dan. 4:25;   Dan. 4:32)  and sets over it the lowest of men.'  (1 Sam. 2:8;   Ps. 103:19)
25. They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen.  They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.  (Jer. 27:5;   Ps. 103:19;   Dan. 4:17)
26. And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that Heaven rules.  (Matt. 21:25)
    
27. Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."  (Prov. 10:2;   Prov. 16:6)
28. All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
32. And they shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field.  They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses."  (Dan. 4:17)
33. That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.
    
34. And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honoured Him who lives forever:  (Dan. 4:26)
    For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation.
35. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;  (Is. 40:15-17)  He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.  No one can restrain His hand  (Job 34:29;   Ps. 115:3;   Ps. 135:6)  or say to Him, "What have You done?"  (Rom. 9:20)
36. At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and splendour returned to me.  My counsellors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.  (2 Chr. 20:20)
    
37. Now, I Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice.  And those who walk in pride He is able to abase.  (Job 40:12)
