1. King Nebuchadnezzar sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world:“Peace and prosperity to you!
2. “I want you all to know about the miraculous signs and wonders the Most High God has performed for me.
3. How great are his signs,how powerful his wonders!His kingdom will last forever,his rule through all generations.
4. “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was living in my palace in comfort and prosperity.
5. But one night I had a dream that frightened me; I saw visions that terrified me as I lay in my bed.
6. So I issued an order calling in all the wise men of Babylon, so they could tell me what my dream meant.
7. When all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune-tellers came in, I told them the dream, but they could not tell me what it meant.
