Title:
The title of the book comes from the name of its chief character and
author. Daniel who through the book received revelations from God. Daniel
bridges the entire 70 years of the Babylonian captivity from (605 to 536
B.C.; compare 1:1 and 9:1-3).
Nine of the 12 chapters relate revelation through dreams and visions.
Daniel was God's mouthpiece to the Gentile and Jewish world, declaring
God's current and future plans. What Revelation is to the New Testament
prophetically and apocalyptically, Daniel is to the Old Testament.
Author - Date:
Several verses indicate that the writer is Daniel (8:15, 27; 9:2; 10:2, 7;
12:4-5), whose name means "God is my Judge." He wrote in the
autobiographical first person from (7:2 on), and is to be distinguished
from the other 3 Daniels of the Old Testament (compare 1 Chron. 3:1; Ezra
8:2; Neh. 10:6). As a teenager, possibly about 15 years old, Daniel was
kidnapped from his noble family in Judah and deported to Babylon to be
brainwashed into Babylonian culture for the task of assisting in dealing
with the imported Jews. There he spent the remainder of a long life (85
years or more). He made the most of the exile successfully, exalting God by
his character and service. He quickly rose to the role of statesman by
official royal appointment and served as a confidante of kings as well as a
prophet in two world empires, i.e., the Babylonian (2:48), and the
Medo-Persian (6:1-2). Christ confirmed Daniel as the author of this book
(compare Matt. 24:15).
Daniel lived beyond the time described (in Dan. 10:1; ca. 536 B.C.). It
seems most probable that he wrote the book shortly after this date but
before (ca. 530 B.C.).
(Daniel 2:4b - 7:28), which prophetically describes the course of Gentile
world history, was originally and appropriately written in Aramaic, the
contemporary language of international business. Ezekiel, Habakkuk,
Jeremiah, and Zephaniah were Daniel's prophetic contemporaries.
The authenticity of few books in the bible has been more furiously assailed
by critics than the Book of Daniel. The primary reasons for this is:
1. The book is said to make several historical blunders.
2. The language of the period.
3. The position of the book in the third part of the threefold division of
the Old Testament Canon (laws and writings), shows that it was written too
late to be placed in the collection of the Prophets.
4. The book contains many examples of historical events that occurred long
after the time of the traditional date for Daniel.
The arguments for the book's authenticity however are quite convincing and
answer well those negative doubts:
1. The charges of historical blunders have proved false in the past (e.g.,
the mention of Belshazzar, now firmly established by the discovery of the
Nabonidus Chronicle, was once thought to be a mistake). Present problematic
passages will eventually likewise be solved.
2. Not only do the international contacts of the Neo-Babylonian Empire
account for the presence of foreign words, but recent linguistic research
has rendered obsolete the argument concerning the supposed lateness of
Daniel's language.
3. Daniel was a statesman as well as a prophet, and could thus easily be
included in the writings.
4. Since God is the Sovereign of history, He can inspire men to record
accurate predictions of events both near and far.
5. Jesus quoted Daniel as a prophet (Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14).
6. Daniels contemporaries mention him as a person known for his
righteousness and wisdom (Ezek. 14:14, 20; 28:3).
7. Ancient authorities, both Jewish and Christian, accepted the book's
authenticity.
8. Taken at face value, the book purports to be a document (of the sixth
century B.C.), written by a prophet of God. There is no good reason to
reject Daniel's authorship of the book.
If the claims of the book are taken at face value, it was written during
the lifetime of Daniel at various periods between the time he was captured
and the third year of Cyrus (605 to 536 B.C.), or simply (the sixth century
B.C.). The dates of the three kings mentioned in the book are well known:
Nebuchadnezzar (605 - 562 B.C.), Belshazzar (553-539 B.C.), and Cyrus (559
- 529 B.C.). Cyrus's reign over Babylon, the scene of the later chapters of
Daniel (began in 539 B.C.).
Interpretation - Purpose:
The interpretation of the book can be determined only by understanding its
historical background. (In 626 B.C.), Nabopolassar of Babylon freed his
city from Assyrian control and thus began the Neo-Babylonian Empire. (In
612 B.C.), Babylonia and Media together defeated the Assyrians and
destroyed Nineveh, their capital. Nabopolassar was succeeded by his son
Nebuchadnezzar (in 605 B.C.), shortly after the latter had defeated the
Egyptians at Carchemish. The Babylonians were then the undisputed masters
of the ancient Near East. In the first of three campaigns against Judah,
Nebuchadnezzar took Daniel and his three friends, among others, captive to
Babylon (605 B.C.). Later campaigns resulted in the taking of 10,000
captives, including Ezekiel (597 B.C.) and finally, the destruction of the
temple and city itself (586 B.C.).
Four successive Babylonian kings are not mentioned in Daniel: Amel-marduk
(the Evil-merodach of the Bible; 562 - 560 B.C.), Nergalsharusur (the
Nergal-sharezer (of Jer. 39:3), known to the Greeks as Neriglissar (560 -
556 B.C.), Labashi-marduk (556 B.C.); and Nabonidus (555 - 539 B.C.).
However, the final king of the Empire, Belshazzar (553-539 B.C.), is an
important figure in Daniel's account. Belshazzar, although a co-regent with
his father Nabonidus, was in fact the reigning monarch for much of his
father's term. During Belshazzar's rule Daniel had the vision of the four
beasts (chapter 7), and the vision of the ram and the male goat (in chapter
8). The famous "handwriting on the wall" (in chapter 5) was a prediction of
Belshazzar's fall, since the city was taken that night (Oct. 12, 539 B.C.)
by Cyrus the Persian. Cyrus is the only Persian king mentioned in the book.
Darius is clearly identified as a Mede and should not be confused with a
later Persian king by the same name.
The writing of this book has several purposes:
1. It presents a divine philosophy of history. God is represented as the
Sovereign over all of history. He moves men and nations according to His
will (4:35).
2. It provides a prophetic framework for the future, that period called by
Jesus as "the times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24). The world empires
mentioned (in chapters 2 and 7), show the ultimate fortunes of Gentile
powers.
3. It explains other portions of Scripture. The Book of Revelation could
not be understood apart from the Book of Daniel. (Revelation chapters
4-19), is a commentary on the events of Daniel's "seventieth week" (Daniel
9:27).
4. It served as a book of encouragement to the Babylonian exiles, whose
hearts were no doubt lightened by Daniel's predictions of the ultimate
triumph of Israel over her enemies.
Background - Setting:
The book begins (in 605 B.C.), when Babylon conquered Jerusalem and exiled
Daniel, his 3 friends, and others. It continues to the eventual demise of
Babylonian supremacy (n 539 B.C.), when Medo-Persian besiegers conquered
Babylon (5:30-31), and goes even beyond that to (536 B.C.; 10:1). After
Daniel was transported to Babylon, the Babylonian victors conquered
Jerusalem in two further stages (597 B.C. and 586 B.C.). In both takeovers,
they deported more Jewish captives. Daniel passionately remembered his
home, particularly the temple at Jerusalem, almost 70 years after having
been taken away from it (6:10).
Daniel's background is alluded to in part by Jeremiah, who names 3 of the
last 5 kings in Judah before captivity (compare Jeremiah 1:1-3): Josiah
(ca. 641 - 609 B.C.), Jehoiakim (ca. 609 -597 B.C.), and Zedekiah (597 -
586 B.C.). Jehoahaz (ca. 609 B.C.), and Jehoiachin (ca. 598 - 597 B.C.) are
not mentioned (compare Jeremiah Introduction: Background - Setting). Daniel
is also mentioned by Ezekiel (compare 14:14, 20; 28:3), as being righteous
and wise. He is alluded to by the writer of Hebrews as one of "the prophets
... who through by faith ... stopped the mouths of lions" (Heb. 11:32-33).
The long-continued sin of the Judeans without national repentance
eventually led to God's judgment for which Jeremiah, Habakkuk, and
Zephaniah had given fair warning. Earlier, Isaiah and other faithful
prophets of God had also trumpeted the danger. When Assyrian power had
ebbed by 625 B.C., the Neo-Babylonians conquered:
(1) Assyria with its capital Nineveh (in 612 B.C.);
(2) Egypt in the following years, and
(3) Judah (in 605 B.C.), when they overthrew Jerusalem in the first of 3
steps (also 597 B.C. 586 B.C.).
Daniel was one of the first groups of deportees, and Ezekiel followed (in
597 B.C.).
Israel of the northern kingdom had earlier fallen to Assyria (in 722 B.C.).
With Judah's captivity, the judgment was complete. In Babylon, Daniel
received God's word concerning successive stages of Gentile world
domination through the centuries until the greatest Conqueror, Messiah,
would put down all Gentile lordship. He then will defeat all foes and raise
His covenant people to blessing in His glorious millennial kingdom.
Historical - Theological Themes:
Daniel was written to encourage the exiled Jews by revealing God's program
for them, both during and after the time of Gentile power in the world.
Prominent above every other theme in the book is God's sovereign control
over the affairs of all rulers and nations, and their final replacement
with the True King. The key verses are (2:20-22, 44; compare 2:28, 37;
4:34-35; 6:25-27). God had not suffered defeat in allowing Israel's fall
(Dan. Chapter 1), but was providentially working His sure purposes toward
an eventual full display of His King, the exalted Christ. He sovereignly
allowed Gentiles to dominate Israel, i.e., Babylon (605-539 B.C.),
Medo-Persia (539 - 331 B.C.), Greece (331 - 146 B.C.), Rome (146 B.C. - 476
A.D.), and all the way to the Second Advent of Christ. These stages in
Gentile power are set forth (in chapters 2 and 7). This same theme also
embraces Israel's experience both in defeat and finally in her kingdom
blessing (in Chapters 8 through 12; compare 2:35, 45; 7:27). A key aspect
within the over-arching theme of God's kingly control is Messiah's coming
to rule the world in glory over all men (2:35, 45; 7:13; 14, 27). He is
like a stone (in chapter 2), and like a son of man (in chapter 7). In
addition, He is the Anointed One (Messiah; in chapter 9:26). Chapter 9
provides the chronological framework from Daniel's time to Christ's
kingdom.
A second theme woven into the fabric of Daniel is the display of God's
sovereign power through miracles. Daniel's era is one of 6 in the Bible
with a major focus on miracles by which God accomplished His purposes.
Other periods include:
(1) The Creation and Flood (Gen. 1:11);
(2) The patriarchs and Moses (Gen. 12 - Deuteronomy);
(3) Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 17 - 2 Kings 13);
(4) Jesus and the apostles (Gospels, Acts); and
(5) The time of the Second Advent (Revelation).
God, who has everlasting dominion and ability to work according to His will
(4:34-35), is capable of miracles, all of which would be lesser displays of
power than was exhibited when He acted as Creator (in Gen. 1:1). Daniel
chronicles the God-enabled recounting and interpreting of dreams which God
used to reveal His will (Chapters 2, 4, and 7). Other miracles included:
(1) His writing on the wall and Daniel's interpreting it (chapter 5);
(2) His protection of the 3 men in a blazing furnace (chapter 3);
(3) His provision of safety for Daniel in a lions' den (chapter 6); and
(4) Supernatural prophecies (chapters 2, 7, 8; 9:24 - 12:13).

Daniel 1
Daniel Chapter 1
Daniel 1:1 "In the third year of the reign
of Jehoiakim king of Judah came
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto
Jerusalem, and besieged it."
Daniel 1:2 "And the Lord gave Jehoiakim
king of Judah into his hand, with part of
the vessels of the house of God: which he
carried into the land of Shinar to the
house of his god; and he brought the
vessels into the treasure house of his
god."
Daniel 1:3 "And the king spake unto
Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he
should bring [certain] of the children of
Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the
princes;"
Daniel 1:4 "Children in whom [was] no
blemish, but well favored, and skillful in
all wisdom, and cunning in 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 tongue of the Chaldeans."
Daniel 1:5 "And the king appointed them a
daily provision of the king's meat, and of
the wine which he drank: so nourishing them
three years, that at the end thereof they
might stand before the king."
Daniel 1:6 "Now among these were of the
children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah:"
Daniel 1:7 "Unto whom the prince of the
eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel
[the name] of Belteshazzar; and to
Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of
Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego."
Daniel 1:8 "But Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defile himself with
the portion of the king's meat, nor with
the wine which he drank: therefore he
requested of the prince of the eunuchs that
he might not defile himself."
Daniel 1:9 "Now God had brought Daniel into
favor and tender love with the prince of
the eunuchs."
Daniel 1:10 "And the prince of the eunuchs
said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king,
who hath appointed your meat and your
drink: for why should he see your faces
worse liking than the children which [are]
of your sort? then shall ye make [me]
endanger my head to the king."
Daniel 1:11 "Then said Daniel to Melzar,
whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,"
Daniel 1:12 "Prove thy servants, I beseech
thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse
to eat, and water to drink."
Daniel 1:13 "Then let our countenances be
looked upon before thee, and the
countenance of the children that eat of the
portion of the king's meat: and as thou
seest, deal with thy servants."
Daniel 1:14 "So he consented to them in
this matter, and proved them ten days."
Daniel 1:15 "And at the end of ten days
their countenances appeared fairer and
fatter in flesh than all the children which
did eat the portion of the king's meat."
Daniel 1:16 "Thus Melzar took away the
portion of their meat, and the wine that
they should drink; and gave them pulse."
Daniel 1:17 "As for these four children,
God gave them knowledge and skill in all
learning and wisdom: and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and dreams."
Daniel 1:18 "Now at the end of the days
that the king had said he should bring them
in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought
them in before Nebuchadnezzar."
Daniel 1:19 "And the king communed with
them; and among them all was found none
like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah: therefore stood they before the
king."
Daniel 1:20 "And in all matters of wisdom
[and] understanding, that the king inquired
of them, he found them ten times better
than all the magicians [and] astrologers
that [were] in all his realm."
Daniel 1:21 "And Daniel continued [even]
unto the first year of king Cyrus."
Daniel 2
Daniel Chapter 2
Daniel 2:1 "And in
the second year of
the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams,
wherewith his
spirit was
troubled, and his
sleep brake from
him."
Daniel 2:2 "Then
the king commanded
to call the
magicians, and the
astrologers, and
the sorcerers, and
the Chaldeans, for
to show the king
his dreams. So they
came and stood
before the king."
Daniel 2:3 "And the
king said unto
them, I have
dreamed a dream,
and my spirit was
troubled to know
the dream."
Daniel 2:4 "Then
spake the Chaldeans
to the king in
Syriac, O king,
live for ever: tell
thy servants the
dream, and we will
show the
interpretation."
Daniel 2:5 "The
king answered and
said to the
Chaldeans, The
thing is gone from
me: if ye will not
make known unto me
the dream, with the
interpretation
thereof, ye shall
be cut in pieces,
and your houses
shall be made a
dunghill."
Daniel 2:6 "But if
ye show the dream,
and the
interpretation
thereof, ye shall
receive of me gifts
and rewards and
great honor:
therefore show me
the dream, and the
interpretation
thereof."
Daniel 2:7 "They
answered again and
said, Let the king
tell his servants
the dream, and we
will show the
interpretation of
it."
Daniel 2:8 "The
king answered and
said, I know of
certainty that ye
would gain the
time, because ye
see the thing is
gone from me."
Daniel 2:9 "But if
ye will 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 show me
the interpretation
thereof."
Daniel 2:10 "The
Chaldeans answered
before the king,
and said, There is
not a man upon the
earth that can show
the king's matter:
therefore [there
is] no king, lord,
nor ruler, [that]
asked such things
at any magician, or
astrologer, or
Chaldean."
Daniel 2:11 "And
[it is] a rare
thing that the king
requireth, and
there is none other
that can show it
before the king,
except the gods,
whose dwelling is
not with flesh."
Daniel 2:12 "For
this cause the king
was angry and very
furious, and
commanded to
destroy all the
wise [men] of
Babylon."
Daniel 2:13 "And
the decree went
forth that the wise
[men] should be
slain; and they
sought Daniel and
his fellows to be
slain."
Daniel 2:14 "Then
Daniel answered
with counsel and
wisdom to Arioch
the captain of the
king's guard, which
was gone forth to
slay the wise [men]
of Babylon:"
Daniel 2:15 "He
answered and said
to Arioch the
king's captain, Why
[is] the decree
[so] hasty from the
king? Then Arioch
made the thing
known to Daniel."
Daniel 2:16 "Then
Daniel went in, and
desired of the king
that he would give
him time, and that
he would show the
king the
interpretation."
Daniel 2:17 "Then
Daniel went to his
house, and made the
thing known to
Hananiah, Mishael,
and Azariah, his
companions:"
Daniel 2:18 "That
they would desire
mercies of the God
of heaven
concerning this
secret; that Daniel
and his fellows
should not perish
with the rest of
the wise [men] of
Babylon."
Daniel 2:19 "Then
was the secret
revealed unto
Daniel in a night
vision. Then Daniel
blessed the God of
heaven."
Daniel 2:20 "Daniel
answered and said,
Blessed be the name
of God for ever and
ever: for wisdom
and might are his:"
Daniel 2:21 "And he
changeth the times
and the seasons: he
removeth kings, and
setteth up kings:
he giveth wisdom
unto the wise, and
knowledge to them
that know
understanding:"
Daniel 2:22 "He
revealeth the deep
and secret things:
he knoweth what
[is] in the
darkness, and the
light dwelleth with
him."
Daniel 2:23 "I
thank thee, and
praise thee, O thou
God of my fathers,
who hast given me
wisdom and might,
and hast made known
unto me now what we
desired of thee:
for thou hast [now]
made known unto us
the king's matter."
Daniel 2:24
"Therefore Daniel
went in unto
Arioch, whom the
king had ordained
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 show
unto the king the
interpretation."
Daniel 2:25 "Then Arioch brought in Daniel
before the king in haste, and said thus
unto him, I have found a man of the
captives of Judah, that will make known
unto the king the interpretation."
Daniel 2:26 "The king answered and said to
Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, Art
thou able to make known unto me the dream
which I have seen, and the interpretation
thereof?"
Daniel 2:27 "Daniel answered in the
presence of the king, and said, The secret
which the king hath demanded cannot the
wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians,
the soothsayers, show unto the king;"
Daniel 2:28 "But there is a God in heaven
that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to
the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in
the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions
of thy head upon thy bed, are these;"
Daniel 2:29 "As for thee, O king, thy
thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed,
what should come to pass hereafter: and he
that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee
what shall come to pass."
Daniel 2:30 "But as for me, this secret is
not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I
have more than any living, but for [their]
sakes that shall make known the
interpretation to the king, and that thou
mightest know the thoughts of thy heart."
Daniel 2:31 "Thou, O king, sawest, and
behold a great image. This great image,
whose brightness [was] excellent, stood
before thee; and the form thereof [was]
terrible."
Daniel 2:32 "This image's head [was] of
fine gold, his breast and his arms of
silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,"
Daniel 2:33 "His legs of iron, his feet
part of iron and part of clay."
Daniel 2:34 "Thou sawest till that a stone
was cut out without hands, which smote the
image upon his feet [that were] of iron and
clay, and brake them to pieces."
Daniel 2:35 "Then was the iron, the clay,
the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken
to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshing floors; and
the wind carried them away, that no place
was found for them: and the stone that
smote the image became a great mountain,
and filled the whole earth."
Daniel 2:36 "This [is] the dream; and we
will tell the interpretation thereof before
the king."
Daniel 2:37 "Thou, O king, [art] a king of
kings: for the God of heaven hath given
thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and
glory."
Daniel 2:38 "And wheresoever the children
of men dwell, the beasts of the field and
the fowls of the heaven hath he given into
thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over
them all. Thou [art] this head of gold."
Daniel 2:39 "And after thee shall arise
another kingdom inferior to thee, and
another third kingdom of brass, which shall
bear rule over all the earth."
Daniel 2:40 "And the fourth kingdom shall
be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all
[things]: and as iron that breaketh all
these, shall it break in pieces and
bruise."
Daniel 2:41 "And whereas thou sawest the
feet and toes, part of potters' 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."
Daniel 2:42 "And [as] the toes of the feet
[were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so]
the kingdom shall be partly strong, and
partly broken."
Daniel 2:43 "And whereas thou sawest 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 is not mixed with clay."
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings
shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed: and the
kingdom shall not be left to other people,
[but] it shall break in pieces and consume
all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for
ever."
Daniel 2:45 "Forasmuch as thou sawest that
the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake in pieces
the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver,
and the gold; the great God hath made known
to the king what shall come to pass
hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and
the interpretation thereof sure."
Daniel 2:46 "Then the king Nebuchadnezzar
fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel,
and commanded that they should offer an
oblation and sweet odors unto him."
Daniel 2:47 "The king answered unto Daniel,
and said, Of a truth [it is], that your God
[is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings,
and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou
couldest reveal this secret."
Daniel 2:48 "Then the king made Daniel a
great man, 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."
Daniel 2:49 "Then Daniel requested of the
king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province
of Babylon: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of
the king."
Daniel 3
Daniel Chapter 3
Daniel 3:1 "Nebuchadnezzar the king made an
image of gold, whose height [was]
threescore cubits, [and] the breadth
thereof six cubits: he set it up in the
plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon."
Daniel 3:2 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king
sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges,
the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set
up."
Daniel 3:3 "Then the princes, the
governors, and captains, the judges, the
treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs,
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."
Daniel 3:4 "Then a herald cried aloud, To
you it is commanded, O people, nations, and
languages,"
Daniel 3:5 "[That] at what time ye hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music,
ye fall down and worship the golden image
that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:"
Daniel 3:6 "And whoso falleth not down and
worshipeth shall the same hour be cast into
the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
Daniel 3:7 "Therefore at that time, when
all the people heard the sound of the
cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
all kinds of music, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down [and]
worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up."
Daniel 3:8 "Wherefore at that time certain
Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews."
Daniel 3:9 "They spake and said to the king
Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever."
Daniel 3:10 "Thou, O king, hast made a
decree, that every man that shall hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of
music, shall fall down and worship the
golden image:"
Daniel 3:11 "And whoso falleth not down and
worshipeth, [that] he should be cast into
the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
Daniel 3:12 "There are certain Jews whom
thou hast set over the affairs of the
province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not
regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor
worship the golden image which thou hast
set up."
Daniel 3:13 "Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his]
rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought
these men before the king."
Daniel 3:14 "Nebuchadnezzar spake and said
unto them, [Is it] true, O Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my
gods, nor worship the golden image which I
have set up?"
Daniel 3:15 "Now if ye be ready that at
what time ye hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall
down and worship the image which I have
made; [well]: but if ye worship not, ye
shall be cast the same hour into the midst
of a burning fiery furnace; and who [is]
that God that shall deliver you out of my
hands?"
Daniel 3:16 "Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O
Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to
answer thee in this matter."
Daniel 3:17 "If it be [so], our God whom we
serve is able to deliver us from the
burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver
[us] out of thine hand, O king."
Daniel 3:18 "But if not, be it known unto
thee, O king, that we will not serve thy
gods, nor worship the golden image which
thou hast set up."
Daniel 3:19 "Then was Nebuchadnezzar full
of fury, and the form of his visage was
changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and
commanded that they should heat the furnace
one seven times more than it was wont to be
heated."
Daniel 3:20 "And he commanded the most
mighty men that [were] in his army to bind
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to
cast [them] into the burning fiery
furnace."
Daniel 3:21 "Then these men were bound in
their coats, their hosen, and their hats,
and their [other] garments, and were cast
into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace."
Daniel 3:22 "Therefore because the king's
commandment was urgent, and the furnace
exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew
those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego."
Daniel 3:23 "And these three men, Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound
into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace."
Daniel 3:24 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king
was astonished, and rose up in haste, [and]
spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did
not we cast three men bound into the midst
of the fire? They answered and said unto
the king, True, O king."
Daniel 3:25 "He answered and said, Lo, I
see four men loose, walking in the midst of
the fire, and they have no hurt; and the
form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
Daniel 3:26 "Then Nebuchadnezzar came near
to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace,
[and] spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high
God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came
forth of the midst of the fire."
Daniel 3:27 "And the princes, governors,
and captains, and the king's counsellors,
being gathered together, saw these men,
upon whose bodies the fire had no power,
nor was a hair of their head singed,
neither were their coats changed, nor the
smell of fire had passed on them."
Daniel 3:28 "[Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake,
and said, Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his
angel, and delivered his servants that
trusted in him, and have changed the king's
word, and yielded their bodies, that they
might not serve nor worship any god, except
their own God."
Daniel 3:29 "Therefore I make a decree,
That every people, nation, and language,
which speak any thing amiss against the God
of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall
be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be
made a dunghill: because there is no other
God that can deliver after this sort."
Daniel 3:30 "Then the king promoted
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the
province of Babylon."
Daniel 4
Daniel Chapter 4
Daniel 4:1 "Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto
all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied
unto you."
Daniel 4:2 "I thought it good to show the
signs and wonders that the high God hath
wrought toward me."
Daniel 4:3 "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."
Daniel 4:4 "I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in
mine house, and flourishing in my palace:"
Daniel 4:5 "I saw a dream which made me
afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and
the visions of my head troubled me."
Daniel 4:6 "Therefore made I 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."
Daniel 4:7 "Then came in the magicians, the
astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the
soothsayers: and I told the dream before
them; but they did not make known unto me
the interpretation thereof."
Daniel 4:8 "But at the last Daniel came in
before me, whose name [was] Belteshazzar,
according to the name of my god, and in
whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and
before him I told the dream, [saying],"
Daniel 4:9 "O Belteshazzar, master of the
magicians, 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."
Daniel 4:10 "Thus [were] the visions of
mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold, a
tree in the midst of the earth, and the
height thereof [was] great."
Daniel 4:11 "The tree grew, and was strong,
and the height thereof reached unto heaven,
and the sight thereof to the end of all the
earth:"
Daniel 4:12 "The leaves thereof [were]
fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it
[was] meat for all: the beasts of the field
had shadow under it, and the fowls of the
heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all
flesh was fed of it."
Daniel 4:13 "I saw in the visions of my
head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher
and a holy one came down from heaven;"
Daniel 4:14 "He cried aloud, and said thus,
Hew down the tree, and cut off his
branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter
his fruit: let the beasts get away from
under it, and the fowls from his branches:"
Daniel 4:15 "Nevertheless leave the stump
of his roots in the earth, even with a band
of iron and brass, in the tender grass of
the field; and let it be wet with the dew
of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with
the beasts in the grass of the earth:"
Daniel 4:16 "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."
Daniel 4:17 "This matter [is] by the decree
of the watchers, and the demand by the word
of the holy ones: to the intent that the
living may know that the most High ruleth
in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to
whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it
the basest of men."
Daniel 4:18 "This dream I king
Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O
Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation
thereof, 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 gods [is] in
thee."
Daniel 4:19 "Then Daniel, whose name [was]
Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour,
and his thoughts troubled him. The king
spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the
dream, or 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."
Daniel 4:20-22 "The tree that thou sawest,
which grew, and was strong, whose height
reached unto the heaven, and the sight
thereof to all the earth;" "Whose leaves
[were] fair, and the fruit thereof much,
and in it [was] meat for all; under which
the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon
whose branches the fowls of the heaven had
their habitation:" It [is] thou, O king,
that art grown and become strong: for thy
greatness is grown, and reacheth unto
heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the
earth."
Daniel 4:23 "And whereas the king saw a
watcher and a holy one coming down from
heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and
destroy it; yet leave the stump of the
roots thereof in the earth, even with a
band of iron and brass, in the tender 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, till seven
times pass over him;"
Daniel 4:24 "This [is] the interpretation,
O king, and this [is] the decree of the
most High, which is come upon my lord the
king:"
Daniel 4:25 "That 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 they
shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and
seven times shall pass over thee, till thou
know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever
he will."
Daniel 4:26 "And whereas they commanded to
leave the stump of the tree roots; thy
kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that
thou shalt have known that the heavens do
rule."
Daniel 4:27 "Wherefore, O king, let my
counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break
off thy sins by righteousness, and thine
iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if
it may be a lengthening of thy
tranquility."
Daniel 4:28 "All this came upon the king
Nebuchadnezzar."
Daniel 4:29 "At the end of twelve months he
walked in the palace of the kingdom of
Babylon."
Daniel 4:30 "The king spake, 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 honor of my
majesty?"
Daniel 4:31 "While the word [was] in the
king's mouth, there fell a voice from
heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to
thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed
from thee."
Daniel 4:32 "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 in the kingdom of men, and
giveth it to whomsoever he will."
Daniel 4:33 "The same hour was the thing
fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was
driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen,
and his body was wet with the dew of
heaven, till his hairs were grown like
eagles' [feathers], and his nails like
birds' [claws]."
Daniel 4:34 "And at the end of the days I
Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto
heaven, and mine understanding returned
unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I
praised and honored him that liveth for
ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting
dominion, and his kingdom [is] from
generation to generation:"
Daniel 4:35 "And all the inhabitants of the
earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he
doeth according to his will in the army of
heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the
earth: and none can stay his hand, or say
unto him, What doest thou?"
Daniel 4:36 "At the same time my reason
returned unto me; and for the glory of my
kingdom, mine honor and brightness returned
unto me; and my counsellors and my lords
sought unto me; and I was established in my
kingdom, and excellent majesty was added
unto me."
Daniel 4:37 "Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise
and extol and honor the King of heaven, all
whose works [are] truth, and his ways
judgment: and those that walk in pride he
is able to abase."
Daniel 5
Daniel Chapter 5
Daniel 5:1 "Belshazzar the king made a
great feast to a thousand of his lords, and
drank wine before the thousand."
Daniel 5:2 "Belshazzar, whiles he tasted
the wine, commanded to bring the golden and
silver vessels which his father
Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple
which [was] in Jerusalem; that the king,
and his princes, his wives, and his
concubines, might drink therein."
Daniel 5:3 "Then they brought the golden
vessels that were taken out of the temple
of the house of God which [was] at
Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes,
his wives, and his concubines, drank in
them."
Daniel 5:4 "They drank wine, and praised
the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass,
of iron, of wood, and of stone."
Daniel 5:5 "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."
Daniel 5:6 "Then the king's countenance was
changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so
that the joints of his loins were loosed,
and his knees smote one against another."
Daniel 5:7 "The king cried aloud to bring
in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the
soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said
to the wise [men] of Babylon, Whosoever
shall read this writing, and show me the
interpretation thereof, shall be clothed
with scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold
about his neck, and shall be the third
ruler in the kingdom."
Daniel 5:8 "Then came in all the king's
wise [men]: but they could not read the
writing, nor make known to the king the
interpretation thereof."
Daniel 5:9 "Then was king Belshazzar
greatly troubled, and his countenance was
changed in him, and his lords were
astonished."
Daniel 5:10 "[Now] the queen by reason of
the words of the king and his lords came
into the banquet house: [and] the queen
spake and said, O king, live for ever: let
not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy
countenance be changed:"
Daniel 5:11 "There is a man in thy kingdom,
in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods;
and in the days of thy father light and
understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom
of the gods, was found in him; whom the
king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king,
[I say], thy father, made master of the
magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, [and]
soothsayers;"
Daniel 5:12 "Forasmuch as an excellent
spirit, and knowledge, and understanding,
interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard
sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were
found in the same Daniel, whom the king
named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be
called, and he will show the
interpretation."
Daniel 5:13 "Then was Daniel brought in
before the king. [And] the king spake and
said unto Daniel, [Art] thou that Daniel,
which [art] of the children of the
captivity of Judah, whom the king my father
brought out of Jewry?"
Daniel 5:14 "I have even heard of thee,
that the spirit of the gods [is] in thee,
and [that] light and understanding and
excellent wisdom is found in thee."
Daniel 5:15 "And now the wise [men], the
astrologers, have been brought in before
me, that they should read this writing, and
make known unto me the interpretation
thereof: but they could not show the
interpretation of the thing:"
Daniel 5:16 "And I have heard of thee, that
thou canst make interpretations, and
dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the
writing, and make known to me the
interpretation thereof, thou shalt be
clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of
gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third
ruler in the kingdom."
Daniel 5:17 "Then Daniel answered and said
before the king, Let thy gifts be to
thyself, and give thy rewards to another;
yet I will read the writing unto the king,
and make known to him the interpretation."
Daniel 5:18 "O thou king, the most high God
gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom,
and majesty, and glory, and honor:"
Daniel 5:19 "And for the majesty that he
gave him, all people, 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 set up;
and whom he would he put down."
Daniel 5:20 "But when his heart was lifted
up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was
deposed from his kingly throne, and they
took his glory from him:"
Daniel 5:21 "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 wet with the dew of
heaven; till he knew that the most high God
ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that] he
appointeth over it whomsoever he will."
Daniel 5:22 "And thou his son, O
Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart,
though thou knewest all this;"
Daniel 5:23 "But hast lifted up thyself
against the Lord of heaven; and they have
brought the vessels of his house before
thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives,
and thy concubines, have drunk wine in
them; and thou hast praised the gods of
silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and
stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know:
and the God in whose hand thy breath [is],
and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not
glorified:"
Daniel 5:24 "Then was the part of the hand
sent from him; and this writing was
written."
Daniel 5:25 And this [is] the writing that
was written, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
Daniel 5:26 "This [is] the interpretation
of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy
kingdom, and finished it."
Daniel 5:27 "TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the
balances, and art found wanting."
Daniel 5:28 "PERES; Thy kingdom is divided,
and given to the Medes and Persians."
Daniel 5:29 "Then commanded Belshazzar, and
they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and [put]
a chain of gold about his neck, and made a
proclamation concerning him, that he should
be the third ruler in the kingdom."
Daniel 5:30 "In that night was Belshazzar
the king of the Chaldeans slain."
Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the
kingdom, [being] bout threescore and two
years old."
Daniel 6
Daniel Chapter 6
Daniel 6:1 "It pleased Darius to set over
the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes,
which should be over the whole kingdom;"
Daniel 6:2 "And over these three
presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first:
that the princes might give accounts unto
them, and the king should have no damage."
Daniel 6:3 "Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because
an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the
king thought to set him over the whole
realm."
Daniel 6:4 "Then the presidents and princes
sought to find occasion against Daniel
concerning the kingdom; but they could find
none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he
[was] faithful, neither was there any error
or fault found in him."
Daniel 6:5 "Then said these men, We shall
not find any occasion against this Daniel,
except we find [it] against him concerning
the law of his God."
Daniel 6:6 "Then these presidents and
princes assembled together to the king, and
said thus unto him, King Darius, live for
ever."
Daniel 6:7 "All the presidents of the
kingdom, the governors, and the princes,
the counsellors, and the captains, have
consulted together to establish a royal
statute, and to make a firm decree, that
whosoever shall ask a petition of any God
or man for thirty days, save of thee, O
king, he shall be cast into the den of
lions."
Daniel 6:8 "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 altereth not."
Daniel 6:9 "Wherefore king Darius signed
the writing and the decree."
Daniel 6:10 "Now when Daniel knew that the
writing was signed, he went into his house;
and his windows being open in his chamber
toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees
three times a day, and prayed, and gave
thanks before his God, as he did
aforetime."
Daniel 6:11 "Then these men assembled, and
found Daniel praying and making
supplication before his God."
Daniel 6:12 "Then they came near, and spake
before the king concerning the king's
decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that
every man that shall ask [a petition] of
any God or man within thirty days, save 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 altereth
not."
Daniel 6:13 "Then answered they and said
before the king, That Daniel, which [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."
Daniel 6:14 "Then the king, when he heard
[these] words, was sore displeased with
himself, and set [his] heart on Daniel to
deliver him: and he labored till the going
down of the sun to deliver him."
Daniel 6:15 "Then these men assembled 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."
Daniel 6:16 "Then the king commanded, and
they brought Daniel, and cast [him] into
the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and
said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest
continually, he will deliver thee."
Daniel 6:17 "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 lords; that the
purpose might not be changed concerning
Daniel."
Daniel 6:18 "Then the king went to his
palace, and passed the night fasting:
neither were instruments of music brought
before him: and his sleep went from him."
Daniel 6:19 "Then the king arose very early
in the morning, and went in haste unto the
den of lions."
Daniel 6:20 "And when he came to the den,
he cried with a lamentable voice unto
Daniel: [and] the king spake and said to
Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living
God, is thy God, whom thou servest
continually, able to deliver thee from the
lions?"
Daniel 6:21 "Then said Daniel unto the
king, O king, live for ever."
Daniel 6:22 "My God hath sent his angel,
and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they
have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him
innocency was found in me; and also before
thee, O king, have I done no hurt."
Daniel 6:23 "Then was the king exceeding
glad for him, 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 God."
Daniel 6:24 "And the king commanded, and
they brought those men which had accused
Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den
of lions, them, their children, and their
wives; and the lions had the mastery of
them, and brake all their bones in pieces
or ever they came at the bottom of the
den."
Daniel 6:25 "Then king Darius wrote unto
all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied
unto you."
Daniel 6:26 "I make a decree, That in every
dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear
before the God of Daniel: for he [is] the
living God, and steadfast for ever, and his
kingdom [that] which shall not be
destroyed, and his dominion [shall be even]
unto the end."
Daniel 6:27 "He delivereth and rescueth,
and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven
and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel
from the power of the lions."
Daniel 6:28 "So this Daniel prospered in
the reign of Darius, and in the reign of
Cyrus the Persian."
Daniel 7
Daniel Chapter 7
Daniel 7:1 "In the first year of Belshazzar
king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and
visions of his head upon his bed: then he
wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the
matters."
Daniel 7:2 "Daniel spake and said, I saw in
my vision by night, and, behold, the four
winds of the heaven strove upon the great
sea."
Daniel 7:3 "And four great beasts came up
from the sea, diverse one from another."
Daniel 7:4 "The first [was] like a lion,
and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the
wings thereof were plucked, and it was
lifted up from the earth, and made stand
upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart
was given to it."
Daniel 7:5 "And behold another beast, a
second, like to a bear, and it raised up
itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs
in the mouth of it between the teeth of it:
and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour
much flesh."
Daniel 7:6 "After this I beheld, and lo
another, like a leopard, which had upon the
back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast
had also four heads; and dominion was given
to it."
Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night
visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong
exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth:
it devoured and brake in pieces, and
stamped the residue with the feet of it:
and it [was] diverse from all the beasts
that [were] before it; and it had ten
horns."
Daniel 7:8 "I considered the horns, and,
behold, there came up among them another
little horn, before whom there were three
of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like
the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great
things."
Daniel 7:9 "I beheld till the thrones were
cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit,
whose garment [was] white as snow, and the
hair of his head like the pure wool: his
throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and]
his wheels [as] burning fire."
Daniel 7:10 "A fiery stream 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."
Daniel 7:11 "I beheld then because of the
voice of the great words which the horn
spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was
slain, and his body destroyed, and given to
the burning flame."
Daniel 7:12 "As concerning the rest of the
beasts, they had their dominion taken away:
yet their lives were prolonged for a season
and time."
Daniel 7:13 "I saw in the night visions,
and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came
with the clouds of heaven, and came to the
Ancient of days, and they brought him near
before him."
Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him
dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that
all people, 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."
Daniel 7:15 "I Daniel was grieved in my
spirit in the midst of [my] body, and the
visions of my head troubled me."
Daniel 7:16 "I came near unto one of them
that stood by, and asked him the truth of
all this. So he told me, and made me know
the interpretation of the things."
Daniel 7:17 "These great beasts, which are
four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise
out of the earth."
Daniel 7:18 "But the saints of the most
High shall take the kingdom, and possess
the kingdom for ever, even for ever and
ever."
Daniel 7:19 "Then I would know the truth of
the fourth beast, which was diverse from
all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose
teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of]
brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces,
and stamped the residue with his feet;"
Daniel 7:20 "And of the ten horns that
[were] in his head, and [of] the other
which came up, and before whom three fell;
even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a
mouth that spake very great things, whose
look [was] more stout than his fellows."
Daniel 7:21 "I beheld, and the same horn
made war with the saints, and prevailed
against them;"
Daniel 7:22 "Until the Ancient of days
came, and judgment was given to the saints
of the most High; and the time came that
the saints possessed the kingdom."
Daniel 7:23 "Thus he said, The fourth beast
shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth, and shall
tread it down, and break it in pieces."
Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this
kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise:
and another shall rise after them; and he
shall be diverse from the first, and he
shall subdue three kings."
Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak [great]
words against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and think
to change times and laws: and they shall be
given into his hand until a time and times
and the dividing of time."
Daniel 7:26 "But the judgment shall sit,
and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy [it] unto the end."
Daniel 7:27 "And the kingdom and dominion,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people
of the saints of the most High, whose
kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and
all dominions shall serve and obey him."
Daniel 7:28 "Hitherto [is] the end of the
matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations
much troubled me, and my countenance
changed in me: but I kept the matter in my
heart."
Daniel 8
Daniel Chapter 8
Daniel 8:1 "In the third year of the reign
of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto
me, [even unto] me Daniel, after that which
appeared unto me at the first."
Daniel 8:2 "And I saw in a vision; and it
came to pass, when I saw, that I [was] at
Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the
province of Elam; and I saw in a vision,
and I was by the river of Ulai."
Daniel 8:3 "Then 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; but one [was]
higher than the other, and the higher came
up last."
Daniel 8:4 "I saw the ram pushing westward,
and northward, and southward; so that no
beasts might stand before him, neither [was
there any] that could deliver out of his
hand; but he did according to his will, and
became great."
Daniel 8:5 "And as I was considering,
behold, a he goat came from the west on the
face of the whole earth, and touched not
the ground: and the goat [had] a notable
horn between his eyes."
Daniel 8:6 "And he came to the ram that had
[two] horns, which I had seen standing
before the river, and ran unto him in the
fury of his power."
Daniel 8:7 "And I saw him come close unto
the ram, and he was moved with choler
against him, and smote the ram, and brake
his two horns: and there was no power in
the
ram to stand before him, but he cast him
down to the ground, and stamped upon him:
and there was none that could deliver the
ram out of his hand."
Daniel 8:8 "Therefore the he goat waxed
very great: and when he was strong, the
great horn was broken; and for it came up
four notable ones toward the four winds of
heaven."
Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came
forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding
great, toward the south, and toward the
east, and toward the pleasant [land]."
Daniel 8:10 "And it waxed great, [even] to
the host of heaven; and it cast down [some]
of the host and of the stars to the ground,
and stamped upon them."
Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified [himself]
even to the prince of the host, and by him
the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and
the place of his sanctuary was cast down."
Daniel 8:12 "And a host was given [him]
against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of
transgression, and it cast down the truth
to the ground; and it practiced, and
prospered."
Daniel 8:13-14 "Then I heard one saint
speaking, and another saint said unto that
certain [saint] which spake, How long
[shall be] the vision [concerning] the
daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of
desolation, to give both the sanctuary and
the host to be trodden under foot?" "And he
said unto me, Unto two thousand and three
hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed."
Daniel 8:15 "And it came to pass, when I,
[even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, and
sought for the meaning, then, behold, there
stood before me as the appearance of a
man."
Daniel 8:16 "And I heard a man's voice
between [the banks of] Ulai, which called,
and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to
understand the vision."
Daniel 8:17 "So he came near where I stood:
and when he came, I was afraid, and fell
upon my face: but he said unto me,
Understand, O son of man: for at the time
of the end [shall be] the vision."
Daniel 8:18 Now as he was speaking with me,
I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the
ground: but he touched me, and set me
upright.
Daniel 8:19 "And he said, Behold, I will
make thee know what shall be in the last
end of the indignation: for at the time
appointed the end [shall be]."
Daniel 8:20-21 "The ram which thou sawest
having [two] horns [are] the kings of Media
and Persia." "And the rough goat [is] the
king of Grecia: and the great horn that
[is] between his eyes [is] the first king."
Daniel 8:22 "Now that being broken, whereas
four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall
stand up out of the nation, but not in his
power."
Daniel 8:23 "And in the latter time of
their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come to the full, a king of fierce
countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up."
Daniel 8:24 "And his power shall be mighty,
but not by his own power: and he shall
destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and
practice, and shall destroy the mighty and
the holy people."
Daniel 8:25 "And through his policy also he
shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he shall magnify [himself] in his
heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he
shall also stand up against the Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without
hand."
Daniel 8:26 "And the vision of the evening
and the morning which was told [is] true:
wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it
[shall be] for many days."
Daniel 8:27 "And I Daniel fainted, and was
sick [certain] days; afterward I rose up,
and did the king's business; and I was
astonished at the vision, but none
understood [it]."
Daniel 9
Daniel Chapter 9
Daniel 9:1 "In the first year of Darius the
son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes,
which was made king over the realm of the
Chaldeans;"
Daniel 9:2 "In the first year of his reign
I Daniel understood by books the number of
the years, whereof the word of the LORD
came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would
accomplish seventy years in the desolations
of Jerusalem."
Daniel 9:3 "And I set my face unto the Lord
God, to seek by prayer and supplications,
with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:"
Daniel 9:4 "And I prayed unto the LORD my
God, and made my confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping
the covenant and mercy to them that love
him, and to them that keep his
commandments;"
Daniel 9:5 "We have sinned, and have
committed iniquity, and have done wickedly,
and have rebelled, even by departing from
thy precepts and from thy judgments:"
Daniel 9:6 "Neither have we hearkened unto
thy servants the prophets, which spake in
thy name to our kings, our princes, and our
fathers, and to all the people of the
land."
Daniel 9:7 "O Lord, righteousness
[belongeth] unto thee, but unto us
confusion of faces, 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, through all
the countries whither thou hast driven
them, because of their trespass that they
have trespassed against thee."
Daniel 9:8 "O Lord, to us [belongeth]
confusion of face, to our kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers, because we
have sinned against thee."
Daniel 9:9 "To the Lord our God [belong]
mercies and forgivenesses, though we have
rebelled against him;"
Daniel 9:10 "Neither have we obeyed the
voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his
laws, which he set before us by his
servants the prophets."
Daniel 9:11 "Yea, all Israel have
transgressed thy law, even by departing,
that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us, and
the oath that [is] written in the law of
Moses the servant of God, because we have
sinned against him."
Daniel 9:12 "And he hath confirmed his
words, which he spake against us, and
against our judges that judged us, by
bringing upon us a great evil: for under
the whole heaven hath not been done as hath
been done upon Jerusalem."
Daniel 9:13 "As [it is] written in the law
of Moses, all this evil is come upon us:
yet made we not our prayer before the LORD
our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand thy truth."
Daniel 9:14 "Therefore hath the LORD
watched upon the evil, and brought it upon
us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in
all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed
not his voice."
Daniel 9:15 "And now, O Lord our God, that
hast brought thy people forth out of the
land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast
gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have
sinned, we have done wickedly."
Daniel 9:16 "O Lord, according to all thy
righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine
anger and thy fury be turned away from thy
city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because
for our sins, and for the iniquities of our
fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are
become] a reproach to all [that are] about
us."
Daniel 9:17 "Now therefore, O our God, hear
the prayer of thy servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face to shine
upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for
the Lord's sake."
Daniel 9:18 "O my God, incline thine ear,
and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our
desolations, and the city which is called
by thy name: for we do not present our
supplications before thee for our
righteousnesses, but for thy great
mercies."
Daniel 9:19 "O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive;
O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for
thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and
thy people are called by thy name."
Daniel 9:20-21 "And while I [was] speaking,
and praying, and confessing my sin and the
sin of my people Israel, and presenting my
supplication before the LORD my God for the
holy mountain of my God;" "Yea, while I
[was] speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at
the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly,
touched me about the time of the evening
oblation."
Daniel 9:22 "And he informed [me], and
talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am
now come forth to give thee skill and
understanding."
Daniel 9:23 "At the beginning of thy
supplications the commandment came forth,
and I am come to show [thee]; for thou
[art] greatly beloved: therefore understand
the matter, and consider the vision."
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined
upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to
finish the transgression, and to make an
end of sins, and to make reconciliation for
iniquity, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to seal up the vision
and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand,
[that] from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
[shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and
two weeks: the street shall be built again,
and the wall, even in troublous times."
Daniel 9:26 "And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself: and the people of the prince that
shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be]
with a flood, and unto the end of the war
desolations are determined."
Daniel 9:27 "And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and
the oblation to cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make
[it] desolate, even until the consummation,
and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate."
Daniel 10
Daniel Chapter 10
Daniel 10:1 "In the third year of Cyrus
king of Persia a thing was revealed unto
Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar;
and the thing [was] true, but the time
appointed [was] long: and he understood the
thing, and had understanding of the
vision."
Daniel 10:2 "In those days I Daniel was
mourning three full weeks."
Daniel 10:3 "I ate no, neither came flesh
nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint
myself at all, till three whole weeks were
fulfilled."
Daniel 10:4 "And in the four and twentieth
day of the first month, as I was by the
side of the great river, which [is]
Hiddekel;"
Daniel 10:5 "Then I lifted up mine eyes,
and looked, and behold a certain man
clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded
with fine gold of Uphaz:"
Daniel 10:6 "His body also [was] like the
beryl, and his face as the appearance of
lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire,
and his arms and his feet like in color to
polished brass, and the voice of his words
like the voice of a multitude."
Daniel 10:7 "And I Daniel alone saw the
vision: for the men that were with me saw
not the vision; but a great quaking fell
upon them, so that they fled to hide
themselves."
Daniel 10:8 "Therefore I was left alone,
and saw this great vision, and there
remained no strength in me: for my
comeliness was turned in me into
corruption, and I retained no strength."
Daniel 10:9 "Yet heard I the voice of his
words: and when I heard the voice of his
words, then was I in a deep sleep on my
face, and my face toward the ground."
Daniel 10:10 "And, behold, a hand touched
me, which set me upon my knees and [upon]
the palms of my hands."
Daniel 10:11 "And he said unto me, O
Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand
the words that I speak unto thee, and stand
upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And
when he had spoken this word unto me, I
stood trembling."
Daniel 10:12 "Then said he unto me, Fear
not, Daniel: for from the first day that
thou didst set thine heart to understand,
and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy
words were heard, and I am come for thy
words."
Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the kingdom
of Persia withstood me one and twenty days:
but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes,
came to help me; and I remained there with
the kings of Persia."
Daniel 10:14 "Now I am come to make thee
understand what shall befall thy people in
the latter days: for yet the vision [is]
for [many] days."
Daniel 10:15 "And when he had spoken such
words unto me, I set my face toward the
ground, and I became dumb."
Daniel 10:16 "And, behold, [one] like the
similitude of the sons of men touched my
lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake,
and said unto him that stood before me, O
my lord, by the vision my sorrows are
turned upon me, and I have retained no
strength."
Daniel 10:17 "For how can the servant of
this my lord talk with this my lord? for as
for me, straightway there remained no
strength in me, neither is there breath
left in me."
Daniel 10:18 "Then there came again and
touched me [one] like the appearance of a
man, and he strengthened me,"
Daniel 10:19 "And said, O man greatly
beloved, fear not: peace [be] unto thee, be
strong, yea, be strong. And when he had
spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and
said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast
strengthened me."
Daniel 10:20 "Then said he, Knowest thou
wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I
return to fight with the prince of Persia:
and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of
Grecia shall come."
Daniel 10:21 "But I will show thee that
which is noted in the scripture of truth:
and [there is] none that holdeth with me in
these things, but Michael your prince."
Daniel 11
Daniel Chapter 11
Daniel 11:1 "Also I
in the first year
of Darius the Mede,
[even] I, stood to
confirm and to
strengthen him."
Daniel 11:2 "And
now will I show
thee the truth.
Behold, there shall
stand up yet three
kings in Persia;
and the fourth
shall be far richer
than [they] all:
and by his strength
through his riches
he shall stir up
all against the
realm of Grecia."
Daniel 11:3 "And a
mighty king shall
stand up, that
shall rule with
great dominion, and
do according to his
will."
Daniel 11:4 And
when he shall stand
up, his kingdom
shall be broken,
and shall be
divided toward the
four winds of
heaven; and not to
his posterity, nor
according to his
dominion which he
ruled: for his
kingdom shall be
plucked up, even
for others beside
those.
Daniel 11:5 "And
the king of the
south shall be
strong, and [one]
of his princes; and
he shall be strong
above him, and have
dominion; his
dominion [shall be]
a great dominion."
Daniel 11:6 "And in
the end of years
they shall join
themselves
together; for the
king's daughter of
the south shall
come to the king of
the north to make
an agreement: but
she shall not
retain the power of
the arm; neither
shall he stand, nor
his arm: but she
shall be given up,
and they that
brought her, and he
that begat her, and
he that
strengthened her in
[these] times."
Daniel 11:7 "But
out of a branch of
her roots shall
[one] stand up in
his estate, which
shall come with an
army, and shall
enter into the
fortress of the
king of the north,
and shall deal
against them, and
shall prevail:"
Daniel 11:8 "And
shall also carry
captives into Egypt
their gods, with
their princes,
[and] with their
precious vessels of
silver and of gold;
and he shall
continue [more]
years than the king
of the north."
Daniel 11:9 "So the
king of the south
shall come into
[his] kingdom, and
shall return into
his own land."
Daniel 11:10 "But
his sons shall be
stirred up, and
shall assemble a
multitude of great
forces: and [one]
shall certainly
come, and overflow,
and pass through:
then shall he
return, and be
stirred up, [even]
to his fortress."
Daniel 11:11″ And
the king of the
south shall be
moved with choler,
and shall come
forth and fight
with him, [even]
with the king of
the north: and he
shall set forth a
great multitude;
but the multitude
shall be given into
his hand."
Daniel 11:12 "[And]
when he hath taken
away the multitude,
his heart shall be
lifted up; and he
shall cast down
[many] ten
thousands: but he
shall not be
strengthened [by
it]."
Daniel 11:13 "For
the king of the
north shall return,
and shall set forth
a multitude greater
than the former,
and shall certainly
come after certain
years with a great
army and with much
riches."
Daniel 11:14 And in
those times there
shall many stand up
against the king of
the south: also the
robbers of thy
people shall exalt
themselves to
establish the
vision; but they
shall fall.
Daniel 11:15 "So
the king of the
north shall come,
and cast up a
mount, and take the
most fenced cities:
and the arms of the
south shall not
withstand, neither
his chosen people,
neither [shall
there be any]
strength to
withstand."
Daniel 11:16 "But
he that cometh
against him shall
do according to his
own will, and none
shall stand before
him: and he shall
stand in the
glorious land,
which by his hand
shall be consumed."
Daniel 11:17 "He
shall also set his
face to enter with
the strength of his
whole kingdom, and
upright ones with
him; thus shall he
do: and he shall
give him the
daughter of women,
corrupting her: but
she shall not stand
[on his side],
neither be for
him."
Daniel 11:18 "After
this shall he turn
his face unto the
isles, and shall
take many: but a
prince for his own
behalf shall cause
the reproach
offered by him to
cease; without his
own reproach he
shall cause [it] to
turn upon him."
Daniel 11:19 "Then
he shall turn his
face toward the
fort of his own
land: but he shall
stumble and fall,
and not be found."
Daniel 11:20 "Then
shall stand up in
his estate a raiser
of taxes [in] the
glory of the
kingdom: but within
few days he shall
be destroyed,
neither in anger,
nor in battle."
Daniel 11:21 "And
in his estate shall
stand up a vile
person, to whom
they shall not give
the honor of the
kingdom: but he
shall come in
peaceably, and
obtain the kingdom
by flatteries."
Daniel 11:22 "And
with the arms of a
flood shall they be
overflown from
before him, and
shall be broken;
yea, also the
prince of the
covenant."
Daniel 11:23 "And
after the league
[made] with him he
shall work
deceitfully: for he
shall come up, and
shall become strong
with a small
people."
Daniel 11:24 "He
shall enter
peaceably even upon
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 the
prey, and spoil,
and riches: [yea],
and he shall
forecast his
devices against the
strong holds, even
for a time."
Daniel 11:25 "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 be stirred up to battle
with a very great and mighty army; but he
shall not stand: for they shall forecast
devices against him."
Daniel 11:26 "Yea, they that feed of the
portion of his meat shall destroy him, and
his army shall overflow: and many shall
fall down slain."
Daniel 11:27 "And both these kings' hearts
[shall be] to do mischief, and they shall
speak lies at one table; but it shall not
prosper: for yet the end [shall be] at the
time appointed."
Daniel 11:28 "Then shall he return into his
land with great riches; and his heart
[shall be] against the holy covenant; and
he shall do [exploits], and return to his
own land."
Daniel 11:29 "At the time appointed he
shall return, and come toward the south;
but it shall not be as the former, or as
the latter."
Daniel 11:30 "For the ships of Chittim
shall come against him: therefore he shall
be grieved, and return, and have
indignation against the holy covenant: so
shall he do; he shall even return, and have
intelligence with them that forsake the
holy covenant."
Daniel 11:31 "And arms shall stand on his
part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength, and shall take away the daily
[sacrifice], and they shall place the
abomination that maketh desolate."
Daniel 11:32 "And such as do wickedly
against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know
their God shall be strong, and do
[exploits]."
Daniel 11:33 "And they that understand
among the people shall instruct many: yet
they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days."
Daniel 11:34 "Now when they shall fall,
they shall be holpen with a little help:
but many shall cleave to them with
flatteries."
Daniel 11:35 "And [some] of them of
understanding shall fall, to try them, and
to purge, and to make [them] white, [even]
to the time of the end: because [it is] yet
for a time appointed."
Daniel 11:36 "And the king shall do
according to his will; and he shall exalt
himself, and magnify himself above every
god, and shall speak marvelous things
against the God of gods, and shall prosper
till the indignation be accomplished: for
that that is determined shall be done."
Daniel 11:37 "Neither shall he regard the
God of his fathers, nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall
magnify himself above all."
Daniel 11:38 "But in his estate shall he
honor the God of forces: and a god whom his
fathers knew not shall he honor with gold,
and silver, and with precious stones, and
pleasant things."
Daniel 11:39 "Thus shall he do in the most
strongholds with a strange god, whom he
shall acknowledge [and] increase with
glory: and he shall cause them to rule over
many, and shall divide the land for gain."
Daniel 11:40 "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 shall overflow and pass
over."
Daniel 11:41 "He shall enter also into the
glorious land, and many [countries] shall
be overthrown: but these shall escape out
of his hand, [even] Edom, and Moab, and the
chief of the children of Ammon."
Daniel 11:42 "He shall stretch forth his
hand also upon the countries: and the land
of Egypt shall not escape."
Daniel 11:43 "But 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."
Daniel 11:44 "But tidings out of the east
and out of the north shall trouble him:
therefore he shall go forth with great fury
to destroy, and utterly to make away many."
Daniel 11:45 "And he shall plant the
tabernacles of his palace between the seas
in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end, and none shall help him."
Daniel 12
Daniel Chapter 12
Daniel 12:1 "And at that time shall Michael
stand up, the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never
was since there was a nation [even] to that
same time: and at that time thy people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the book."
Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame [and]
everlasting contempt."
Daniel 12:3 "And they that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars for ever and ever."
Daniel 12:4 "But thou, O Daniel, shut up
the words, and seal the book, [even] to the
time of the end: many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased."
Daniel 12:5 "Then I Daniel looked, and,
