strkjv@Daniel:2:1 @ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar N@buwkadne'tstsar# Nebuchadnezzar N@buwkadne'tstsar# dreamed dreams , wherewith his spirit was troubled , and his sleep brake from him.
strkjv@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded to call the magicians , and the astrologers , and the sorcerers , and the Chaldeans , for to shew the king his dreams . So they came and stood before the king .
strkjv@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream , and my spirit was troubled to know the dream .
strkjv@Daniel:2:4 @ Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack , O king , live for ever : tell thy servants the dream , and we will shew the interpretation .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:6 @ But if ye shew the dream , and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour : therefore shew me the dream , and the interpretation thereof.
strkjv@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered again and said , Let the king tell his servants the dream , and we will shew the interpretation of it.
strkjv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said , I know of certainty that ye would gain the time , because q^bel# ye see the thing is gone from me.
strkjv@Daniel:2:9 @ But if ye will not make known unto me the dream , there is but one huw# 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 shew me the interpretation thereof.
strkjv@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans answered before the king , and said , There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the kings matter : therefore q^bel# there is no king , lord , nor ruler , that asked sh@#el# such things at any magician , or astrologer , or Chaldean .
strkjv@Daniel:2:11 @ And it is a rare thing that the king requireth sh@#el#, and there is none other that can shew it before the king , except the gods , whose dwelling is not with flesh .
strkjv@Daniel:2:12 @ For this cause the king was angry and very furious , and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon .
strkjv@Daniel:2:13 @ And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain ; and they sought b@#a# Daniel and his fellows to be slain .
strkjv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom t@#em# to Arioch the captain of the kings guard , which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon :
strkjv@Daniel:2:15 @ He answered and said to Arioch the kings captain , Why mah# is the decree so hasty from min# the king ? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel .
strkjv@Daniel:2:16 @ Then Daniel went in , and desired b@#a# of the king that he would give him time , and that he would shew the king the interpretation .
strkjv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house , and made the thing known to Hananiah , Mishael , and Azariah , his companions :
strkjv@Daniel:2:18 @ That they would desire b@#a# mercies of min# the God of heaven concerning this secret ; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest sh@#ar# of the wise men of Babylon .
strkjv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision . Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven .
strkjv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel answered and said , Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever #ad# : for wisdom and might are his:
strkjv@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 :
strkjv@Daniel:2:22 @ He revealeth the deep and secret things : he knoweth what is in the darkness , and the light dwelleth with him .
strkjv@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 k@#an# what we desired b@#a# of thee : for thou hast now made known unto us the kings matter .
strkjv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore kol# q^bel# 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 shew unto the king the interpretation .
strkjv@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 ben# of Judah Y@huwd#, that will make known unto the king the interpretation .
strkjv@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?
strkjv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered in the presence of the king , and said , The secret which the king hath demanded sh@#el# cannot the wise men, the astrologers , the magicians , the soothsayers , shew unto the king ;
strkjv@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets , and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar N@buwkadnetstsar# what shall be in the latter days . Thy dream , and the visions of thy head upon thy bed , are these ;
strkjv@Daniel:2:29 @ As for thee , O king , thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed , what should come to pass hereafter #achar# : and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:31 @ Thou , O king , sawest , and behold a great chad# image . This great image , whose brightness was excellent , stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible .
strkjv@Daniel:2:32 @ This images head was of fine gold , his breast and his arms of silver , his belly m@#ah# and his thighs of brass ,
strkjv@Daniel:2:33 @ His legs of iron , his feet part of iron and part of clay .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@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 threshingfloors ; 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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream ; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@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 r@#a# all these , shall it break in pieces and bruise r@#a#.
strkjv@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 kol# thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay .
strkjv@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were part of iron , and part of clay , so the kingdom shall be partly min# strong , and partly min# broken .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom , which shall never #alam# 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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:45 @ Forasmuch as kol# 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 #achar# : and the dream is certain , and the interpretation thereof sure .
strkjv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar N@buwkadnetstsar# fell upon his face , and worshipped Daniel , and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@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 .
strkjv@Daniel:2:49 @ Then Daniel requested b@#a# of the king , and he set Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed N@gow#, over the affairs of the province of Babylon : but Daniel sat in the gate of the king .

bible Daniel:2 -
kjv@Daniel:2 > > RandyP : They sought the mercies of God concerning this secret. Perhaps they would have rather thought that the king was losing his marbles and hastily making a way for them out wit the king for their freedom. The mercies of God in this case were much different. God was intending to share a revelation with the king and establish these Hebrew boys in the kings eye. The four's action saved not only themselves but, the other soothsayers and magicians as well.
