4 I Nebuchadnezzar was quiet in my house and flourishing in my palace;
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the imaginations and visions of my head troubled me in my bed.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me that they might show me the interpretation of the dream.
7 Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the fortune-tellers came in and I told the dream before them; but they never showed me its interpretation.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, who when I name him it seems to me that I name my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy God; and before him I told the dream, saying,
9 Belteshazzar, prince of the wise men, now that I have understood that the spirit of the holy God is in thee, and that no mystery is hidden from thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen and its interpretation.
10 Thus were the visions of my head in my bed: It seemed that I saw a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
