_E4trans	Da	1:1	In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	1:3	And the king spoke to 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;
_E4trans	Da	1:4	Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	1:6	Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
_E4trans	Da	1:7	to whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names. for he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar. and to Hananiah, of Shadrach. and to Mishael, of Meshach. and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	1:9	Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
_E4trans	Da	1:10	And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel. I fear my lord the king, who has 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 you make me endanger my head to the king.
_E4trans	Da	1:11	Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
_E4trans	Da	1:12	Prove your servants. I beseech you, ten days. and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
_E4trans	Da	1:13	Then let our countenances be looked upon before you, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat. and as you see, deal with your servants.
_E4trans	Da	1:14	So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	1:16	Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink. and gave them pulse.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	1:20	And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
_E4trans	Da	1:21	And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:3	And the king said to them. I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
_E4trans	Da	2:4	Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, Oh king, live for ever. tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
_E4trans	Da	2:5	The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me. if you will not make known to me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
_E4trans	Da	2:6	But if you show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour. therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
_E4trans	Da	2:7	They answered again and said. Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
_E4trans	Da	2:8	The king answered and said. I know of certainty that you would gain the time, because you see the thing is gone from me.
_E4trans	Da	2:9	But if you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one decree for you. for you 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 you can show me the interpretation thereof.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:11	And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
_E4trans	Da	2:12	For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
_E4trans	Da	2:13	And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain. and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:17	Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:19	Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
_E4trans	Da	2:20	Daniel answered and said. Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. for wisdom and might are his:
_E4trans	Da	2:21	And he changes the times and the seasons. he removes kings, and sets up kings. he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
_E4trans	Da	2:22	He reveals the deep and secret things. he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
_E4trans	Da	2:23	I thank you, and praise you, Oh you God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made known to me now what we desired of you. for you has now made known to us the king's matter.
_E4trans	Da	2:24	Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon. he went and said thus to him. Destroy not the wise men of Babylon. bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
_E4trans	Da	2:25	Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus to him. I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known to the king the interpretation.
_E4trans	Da	2:26	The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
_E4trans	Da	2:27	Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said. The secret which the king has demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show to the king;
_E4trans	Da	2:28	But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are these;
_E4trans	Da	2:29	As for you, Oh king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed, what should come to pass hereafter. and he that reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.
_E4trans	Da	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 you might know the thoughts of your heart.
_E4trans	Da	2:31	Thou, Oh king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you. and the form thereof was terrible.
_E4trans	Da	2:32	This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
_E4trans	Da	2:33	His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
_E4trans	Da	2:34	You saw 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:36	This is the dream. and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
_E4trans	Da	2:37	Thou, Oh king, are a king of kings. for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
_E4trans	Da	2:38	And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven has he given into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.
_E4trans	Da	2:39	And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
_E4trans	Da	2:40	And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron. forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. and as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
_E4trans	Da	2:41	And whereas you saw 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 you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:43	And whereas you saw 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	2:45	Since you saw 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 has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
_E4trans	Da	2:46	Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours to him.
_E4trans	Da	2:47	The king answered to 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 you couldst reveal this secret.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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 to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
_E4trans	Da	3:4	Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, Oh people, nations, and languages,
_E4trans	Da	3:5	That at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up:
_E4trans	Da	3:6	And whoso falls not down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
_E4trans	Da	3:7	Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
_E4trans	Da	3:8	Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
_E4trans	Da	3:9	They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, Oh king, live for ever.
_E4trans	Da	3:10	Thou, Oh king, has made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
_E4trans	Da	3:11	And whoso falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
_E4trans	Da	3:12	There are certain Jews whom you has set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. these men, Oh king, have not regarded you. they serve not your gods, nor worship the golden image which you has set up.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	3:14	Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them. Is it true, Oh Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not you serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
_E4trans	Da	3:15	Now if you be ready that at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, you fall down and worship the image which I have made. well. but if you worship not, you 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?
_E4trans	Da	3:16	Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, Oh Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you in this matter.
_E4trans	Da	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 your hand, Oh king.
_E4trans	Da	3:18	But if not, be it known to you, Oh king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you has set up.
_E4trans	Da	3:19	Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	3:23	And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
_E4trans	Da	3:24	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said to his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, Oh king.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	3:26	Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you 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.
_E4trans	Da	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 an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
_E4trans	Da	3:28	Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said. Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	3:30	Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
_E4trans	Da	4:1	Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth. Peace be multiplied to you.
_E4trans	Da	4:2	I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God has wrought toward me.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	4:4	I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
_E4trans	Da	4:5	I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
_E4trans	Da	4:6	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.
_E4trans	Da	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 to me the interpretation thereof.
_E4trans	Da	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,
_E4trans	Da	4:9	Oh Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	4:11	The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached to heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	4:13	I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, look, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	4:16	Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given to him. and let seven times pass over him.
_E4trans	Da	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 rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and sets up over it the basest of men.
_E4trans	Da	4:18	This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now you, Oh Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. but you are able. for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
_E4trans	Da	4:19	Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said. Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said. My lord, the dream be to them that hate you, and the interpretation thereof to your enemies.
_E4trans	Da	4:20	The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
_E4trans	Da	4:21	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:
_E4trans	Da	4:22	It is you, Oh king, that are grown and become strong. for your greatness is grown, and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the end of the earth.
_E4trans	Da	4:23	And whereas the king saw a watcher and an 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;
_E4trans	Da	4:24	This is the interpretation, Oh king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
_E4trans	Da	4:25	That they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you to eat grass as oxen, and 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 whomsoever he will.
_E4trans	Da	4:26	And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots. your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
_E4trans	Da	4:27	Therefore, Oh king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor. if it may be a lengthening of your tranquility.
_E4trans	Da	4:28	All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
_E4trans	Da	4:29	At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
_E4trans	Da	4:30	The king spoke, 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 honour of my majesty?
_E4trans	Da	4:31	While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying. Oh king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken. The kingdom is departed from you.
_E4trans	Da	4:32	And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. they shall make you to eat grass as 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 whomsoever he will.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	4:34	And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and mine understanding returned to me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that lives for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
_E4trans	Da	4:35	And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. and none can stay his hand, or say to him. What do you?
_E4trans	Da	4:36	At the same time my reason returned to me. and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned to me. and my counsellors and my lords sought to me. and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.
_E4trans	Da	4:37	Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment. and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
_E4trans	Da	5:1	Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	5:4	They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
_E4trans	Da	5:5	In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace. and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	5:7	The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	5:9	Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
_E4trans	Da	5:10	Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house. and the queen spoke and said. Oh king, live for ever. let not your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance be changed:
_E4trans	Da	5:11	There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him. whom the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king. I say, your father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
_E4trans	Da	5:12	Since an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing 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.
_E4trans	Da	5:13	Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, are you that Daniel, which are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
_E4trans	Da	5:14	I have even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in you.
_E4trans	Da	5:15	And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof. but they could not show the interpretation of the thing:
_E4trans	Da	5:16	And I have heard of you, that you can make interpretations, and dissolve doubts. now if you can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, you shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
_E4trans	Da	5:17	Then Daniel answered and said before the king. Let your gifts be to thyself, and give your rewards to another. yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
_E4trans	Da	5:18	Oh you king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	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 appoints over it whomsoever he will.
_E4trans	Da	5:22	And you his son, Oh Belshazzar, has not humbled your heart, though you knew all this;
_E4trans	Da	5:23	But has lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you, and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine in them. and you has 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 your breath is, and whose are all your ways, has you not glorified:
_E4trans	Da	5:24	Then was the part of the hand sent from him. and this writing was written.
_E4trans	Da	5:25	And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
_E4trans	Da	5:26	This is the interpretation of the thing. Mene. God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it.
_E4trans	Da	5:27	Tekel. You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
_E4trans	Da	5:28	Peres. your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	5:30	In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
_E4trans	Da	5:31	And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
_E4trans	Da	6:1	It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
_E4trans	Da	6:2	And over these three presidents. of whom Daniel was first. that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should have no damage.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	6:6	Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.
_E4trans	Da	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 you, Oh king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
_E4trans	Da	6:8	Now, Oh king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
_E4trans	Da	6:9	Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	6:11	Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
_E4trans	Da	6:12	Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree. has you not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of you, Oh 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 alters not.
_E4trans	Da	6:13	Then answered they and said before the king. That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regards not you, Oh king, nor the decree that you has signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
_E4trans	Da	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 laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
_E4trans	Da	6:15	Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, Oh king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is. That no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.
_E4trans	Da	6:16	Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	6:18	Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. neither were instruments of musick brought before him. and his sleep went from him.
_E4trans	Da	6:19	Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
_E4trans	Da	6:20	And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel. and the king spoke and said to Daniel, Oh Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?
_E4trans	Da	6:21	Then said Daniel to the king, Oh king, live for ever.
_E4trans	Da	6:22	My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me. forasmuch as before him innocent was found in me. and also before you, Oh king, have I done no hurt.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	6:25	Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth. Peace be multiplied to you.
_E4trans	Da	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 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.
_E4trans	Da	6:27	He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
_E4trans	Da	6:28	So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:2	Daniel spoke and said. I saw in my vision by night, and, look, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
_E4trans	Da	7:3	And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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 to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:8	I considered the horns, and, look, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. and, look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:10	A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
_E4trans	Da	7:11	I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:13	I saw in the night visions, and, look, 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:15	I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
_E4trans	Da	7:16	I came near to 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.
_E4trans	Da	7:17	These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
_E4trans	Da	7:18	But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
_E4trans	Da	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;
_E4trans	Da	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 spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
_E4trans	Da	7:21	I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	7:26	But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:1	In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:3	Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, look, 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:5	And as I was considering, look, an 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.
_E4trans	Da	8:6	And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.
_E4trans	Da	8:7	And I saw him come close to 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:12	And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground. and it practised, and prospered.
_E4trans	Da	8:13	Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint which spoke. 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?
_E4trans	Da	8:14	And he said to me, to two thousand and three hundred days. then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
_E4trans	Da	8:15	And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, look, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:17	So he came near where I stood. and when he came. I was afraid, and fell upon my face. but he said to me, Understand, Oh son of man. for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:19	And he said. Look. I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation. for at the time appointed the end shall be.
_E4trans	Da	8:20	The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
_E4trans	Da	8:21	And the rough goat is the king of Grecia. and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:24	And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	8:26	And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true. wherefore shut you up the vision. for it shall be for many days.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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;
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	9:3	And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
_E4trans	Da	9:4	And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said. Oh Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
_E4trans	Da	9:5	We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments:
_E4trans	Da	9:6	Neither have we hearkened to your servants the prophets, which spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
_E4trans	Da	9:7	Oh Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day. to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither you has driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
_E4trans	Da	9:8	Oh Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
_E4trans	Da	9:9	To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	9:11	Yea, all Israel have transgressed your law, even by departing, that they might not obey your 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.
_E4trans	Da	9:12	And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil. for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem.
_E4trans	Da	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 your truth.
_E4trans	Da	9:14	Therefore has the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us. for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he does. for we obeyed not his voice.
_E4trans	Da	9:15	And now, Oh Lord our God, that has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and has gotten you renown, as at this day. we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
_E4trans	Da	9:16	Oh Lord, according to all your righteousness. I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
_E4trans	Da	9:17	Now therefore, Oh our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
_E4trans	Da	9:18	Oh my God, incline your ear, and hear. open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name. for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies.
_E4trans	Da	9:19	Oh Lord, hear. Oh Lord, forgive. Oh Lord, hearken and do. defer not, for your own sake, Oh my God. for your city and your people are called by your name.
_E4trans	Da	9:20	And whiles 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;
_E4trans	Da	9:21	Yea, whiles 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.
_E4trans	Da	9:22	And he informed me, and talked with me, and said. Oh Daniel. I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding.
_E4trans	Da	9:23	At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you. for you are greatly beloved. therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
_E4trans	Da	9:24	Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your 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.
_E4trans	Da	9:25	Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to 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.
_E4trans	Da	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 to the end of the war desolations are determined.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	10:1	In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to 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.
_E4trans	Da	10:2	In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
_E4trans	Da	10:3	I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
_E4trans	Da	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;
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	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 colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	10:10	And, look, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
_E4trans	Da	10:11	And he said to me, Oh Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright. for to you am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me. I stood trembling.
_E4trans	Da	10:12	Then said he to me. Fear not, Daniel. for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before your God, your words were heard, and I am come for your words.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	10:14	Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days. for yet the vision is for many days.
_E4trans	Da	10:15	And when he had spoken such words to me. I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
_E4trans	Da	10:16	And, look, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips. then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, Oh my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	10:18	Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
_E4trans	Da	10:19	And said. Oh man greatly beloved, fear not. peace be to you, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken to me. I was strengthened, and said. Let my lord speak. for you has strengthened me.
_E4trans	Da	10:20	Then said he, know you wherefore I come to you? 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.
_E4trans	Da	10:21	But I will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth. and there is none that holds with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
_E4trans	Da	11:1	Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
_E4trans	Da	11:2	And now will I show you the truth. Look, 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.
_E4trans	Da	11:3	And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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:
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:9	So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:12	And when he has 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:14	And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south. also the robbers of your people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision. but they shall fall.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:16	But he that comes 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:18	After this shall he turn his face to 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:21	And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom. but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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 makes desolate.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:34	Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help. but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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 marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished. for that that is determined shall be done.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:38	But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces. and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
_E4trans	Da	11:39	Thus shall he do in the most strong holds 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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	11:42	He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries. and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	12:1	And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your 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 your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	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.
_E4trans	Da	12:4	But you, Oh 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.
_E4trans	Da	12:5	Then I Daniel looked, and, look, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
_E4trans	Da	12:6	And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river. How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
_E4trans	Da	12:7	And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half. and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
_E4trans	Da	12:8	And I heard, but I understood not. then said I, Oh my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
_E4trans	Da	12:9	And he said. Go your way, Daniel. for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
_E4trans	Da	12:10	Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried. but the wicked shall do wickedly. and none of the wicked shall understand. but the wise shall understand.
_E4trans	Da	12:11	And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
_E4trans	Da	12:12	Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
_E4trans	Da	12:13	But go you your way till the end be. for you shalt rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.
