1. Nebuchadnezzar the king unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
2. It hath seemed good unto me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.
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.
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 upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
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.
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.
