1 I, King Nebuchadnezzar, am writing this letter. I am sending it to you people from every nation and language in the whole world. May you have great success!
2 I am pleased to tell you what has happened. The Most High God has done miraculous signs and wonders for me.
3 His miraculous signs are great. His wonders are mighty. His kingdom will last forever. His rule will never end.
4 I was at home in my palace. I was content and very successful.
5 But I had a dream that made me afraid. I was lying on my bed. Then dreams and visions passed through my mind. They terrified me.
6 So I commanded that all of the wise men in Babylon be brought to me. I wanted them to tell me what my dream meant.
