2 I am very happy to tell you about the miracles and wonderful things that the Most High God did for me.
3 God has done amazing miracles! He has done powerful miracles! His kingdom continues forever; his rule will continue for all generations.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at my palace. I was happy and successful.
5 I had a dream that made me afraid. I was lying on my bed, and I saw pictures and visions in my mind. These things made me very afraid.
6 So I gave an order that all the wise men of Babylon be brought to me to tell me what my dream meant.
7 When the men of magic and the Chaldeans came, I told them about the dream, but they could not tell me what it meant.
8 Finally, Daniel came to me. (I gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar to honor my god. The spirit of the holy gods is in him.) I told him about my dream.
