1 (3:31) “King Nebuchadnezzar, to all peoples, nations, and language groups that live in all the land: Peace and prosperity!
2 I am delighted to tell you about the signs and wonders that the most high God has done for me.
3 “How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom will last forever, and his authority continues from one generation to the next.”
4 (4:1) I, Nebuchadnezzar, was relaxing in my home, living luxuriously in my palace.
5 I saw a dream that frightened me badly. The things I imagined while lying on my bed – these visions of my mind – were terrifying me.
6 So I issued an order for all the wise men of Babylon to be brought before me so that they could make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 When the magicians, astrologers, wise men, and diviners entered, I recounted the dream for them. But they were unable to make known its interpretation to me.
