1. King Nebuchadnezzar,To those of every people, nation, and language, who live in all the earth: May your prosperity increase.
2. I am pleased to tell you about the miracles and wonders the Most High God has done for me.
3. How great are His miracles,and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.
4. I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and flourishing in my palace.
5. I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.
6. So I issued a decree to bring all the wise men of Babylon to me in order that they might make the dream’s interpretation known to me.
7. When the diviner-priests, mediums, Chaldeans, and astrologers came in, I told them the dream, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.
