Read word by wordWe advise the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, you will have no dominion west of the Euphrates.
Read word by wordNow, therefore, issue an order for these men to stop, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order.

Read word by wordIf you do not tell me the dream, there is only one decree for you. You have conspired to speak before me false and fraudulent words, hoping the situation will change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can give me its interpretation.”
Read word by wordThe astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer.
Read word by wordWhat the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
Read word by wordurging them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be killed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Read word by wordDaniel answered the king, “No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the king the mystery of which he inquires.

Read word by wordAs you watched, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them.
Read word by wordThen the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Read word by wordAs you saw the iron mixed with clay, so the peoples will mix with one another but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay.
Read word by wordIn the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.

Read word by wordBut there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
Read word by wordand Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?
Read word by wordNow when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the statue I have made, very good.

Read word by wordand when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
Read word by wordNebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
Read word by wordTherefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”

Read word by wordBut you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
Read word by wordInstead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
