1 Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign, to all peoples, nations and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be increased to you.
2 I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High Elah has worked for me.
3 How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders! His reign is an everlasting reign, and His rulership is from generation to generation.
4 I, Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar, was at rest in my house, and prospering in my palace.
5 I saw a dream and it frightened me, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head alarmed me.
6 So I issued a decree to bring in all the wise ones of Baḇel before me, to make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 So the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in, and I related the dream to them, but its interpretation they did not make known to me.
