1. Nebuchadnezzar the king,to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:Peace be multiplied to you.
2. It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked towards me.
3. How great are his signs!How mighty are his wonders!His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.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.
6. Therefore made I 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 enchanters, the Kasdim, and the soothsayers came in; and I told the dream before them; but they didn’t make known to me its interpretation.
