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.
8 And at last Dani’ĕl, whose name is Bĕlteshatstsar, according to the name of my elah, came before me. In him is the Spirit of the Set-apart Elah. So I related the dream to him, saying,
9 “Bĕlteshatstsar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Set-apart Elah is in you, and no secret is too difficult for you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
