And Joseph H3130 came H935 in to them in the morning, H1242 and looked H7200 on them, and, behold, H2009 they were sad. H2196

And in the second H8147 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 dreamed H2492 dreams, H2472 with which his spirit H7307 was troubled, H6470 and his sleep H8142 broke H1961 from him.

And the king H4428 said H559 to them, I have dreamed H2492 a dream, H2472 and my spirit H7307 was troubled H6470 to know H3045 the dream. H2472

I saw H2370 a dream H2493 which made me afraid, H1763 and the thoughts H2031 on my bed H4903 and the visions H2376 of my head H7217 troubled H927 me.

Then H116 Daniel, H1841 whose H1768 name H8036 was Belteshazzar, H1096 was astonished H8075 for one H2298 hour, H8160 and his thoughts H7476 troubled H927 him. The king H4430 spoke, H6032 and said, H560 Belteshazzar, H1096 let not the dream, H2493 or the interpretation H6591 thereof, trouble H927 you. Belteshazzar H1096 answered H6032 and said, H560 My lord, H4756 the dream H2493 be to them that hate H8131 you, and the interpretation H6591 thereof to your enemies. H6146

Then H116 the king's H4430 countenance H2122 was changed, H8133 and his thoughts H7476 troubled H927 him, so that the joints H7001 of his loins H2783 were loosed, H8271 and his knees H755 smote H5368 one H1668 against another. H1668

Till now H5705 H3542 is the end H5491 of the matter. H4406 As for me Daniel, H1841 my cogitations H7476 much H7690 troubled H927 me, and my countenance H2122 changed H8133 in me: but I kept H5202 the matter H4406 in my heart. H3821

And I Daniel H1840 fainted, H1961 and was sick H2470 certain days; H3117 afterward I rose H6965 up, and did H6213 the king's H4428 business; H4399 and I was astonished H8074 at H5921 the vision, H4758 but none H369 understood H995 it.

When I heard, H8085 my belly H990 trembled; H7264 my lips H8193 quivered H6750 at the voice: H6963 rottenness H7538 entered H935 into my bones, H6106 and I trembled H7264 in myself, that I might rest H5117 in the day H3117 of trouble: H6869 when he comes H5927 up to the people, H5971 he will invade H1464 them with his troops.

Then Pharaoh H6547 also H1571 called H7121 the wise H2450 men and the sorcerers: H3784 now the magicians H2748 of Egypt, H4714 they also H1571 did H6213 in like H3651 manner H3651 with their enchantments. H3858

And the magicians H2748 of Egypt H4714 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments: H3909 and Pharaoh's H6547 heart H3820 was hardened, H2388 neither H3808 did he listen H8085 to them; as the LORD H3068 had said. H1696

And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments, H3909 and brought H5927 up frogs H6854 on the land H776 of Egypt. H4714

And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so with their enchantments H3909 to bring H3318 forth H3318 lice, H3654 but they could H3201 not: so H3651 there were lice H3654 on man, H120 and on beast. H929

Then the magicians H2748 said H1696 to Pharaoh, H6547 This H1931 is the finger H676 of God: H430 and Pharaoh's H6547 heart H3820 was hardened, H2388 and he listened H8085 not to them; as the LORD H3068 had said. H1696

And the magicians H2748 could H3201 not stand H5975 before H6440 Moses H4872 because H6440 of the boils; H7822 for the boil H7822 was on the magicians, H2748 and on all H3605 the Egyptians. H4714

Regard H6437 not them that have familiar spirits, H178 neither H408 seek H1245 after H413 wizards, H3049 to be defiled H2930 by them: I am the LORD H3068 your God. H430

And the soul H5315 that turns H6437 after H413 such as have familiar spirits, H178 and after H310 wizards, H3049 to go a whoring H2181 after H310 them, I will even set H5414 my face H6440 against that soul, H5315 and will cut H3772 him off from among H7130 his people. H5971

When H3588 you are come H935 into H413 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives H5414 you, you shall not learn H3925 to do H6213 after the abominations H8441 of those H1992 nations. H1471

Or a charmer, H2266 H2267 or a consulter H7592 with familiar spirits, H178 or a wizard, H3049 or a necromancer. H1875 H4191

You shall be perfect H8549 with the LORD H3068 your God. H430

And when H3588 they shall say H559 to you, Seek H1875 to them that have familiar spirits, H178 and to wizards H3049 that peep, H6850 and that mutter: H1897 should not a people H5971 seek H1875 to their God? H430 for the living H2416 to the dead? H4191

And the spirit H7307 of Egypt H4714 shall fail H1238 in the middle H7130 thereof; and I will destroy H1104 the counsel H6098 thereof: and they shall seek H1875 to the idols, H457 and to the charmers, H328 and to them that have familiar spirits, H178 and to the wizards. H3049

Therefore, H3651 behold, H2005 I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous H6381 work H6381 among this H2088 people, H5971 even a marvelous H6381 work H6381 and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish, H6 and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid. H5641

Stand H5975 now H4994 with your enchantments, H2267 and with the multitude H7230 of your sorceries, H3785 wherein H834 you have labored H3021 from your youth; H5271 if H194 so be you shall be able H3201 to profit, H3276 if H194 so be you may prevail. H6206

You are wearied H3811 in the multitude H7230 of your counsels. H6098 Let now H4994 the astrologers, H1895 H8064 the stargazers, H2374 3556 the monthly H2320 prognosticators, H3045 stand H5975 up, and save H3467 you from these things that shall come H935 on you.

And in all H3605 matters H1697 of wisdom H2451 and understanding, H998 that the king H4428 inquired H1245 of them, he found H4672 them ten H6235 times better H3027 than H5921 all H3605 the magicians H2748 and astrologers H825 that were in all H3605 his realm. H4438

Then the king H4428 commanded H559 to call H7121 the magicians, H2748 and the astrologers, H825 and the sorcerers, H3784 and the Chaldeans, H3779 for to show H5046 the king H4428 his dreams. H2472 So they came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 the king. H4428

Then H116 came H5954 in the magicians, H2749 the astrologers, H826 the Chaldeans, H3779 and the soothsayers: H1505 and I told H560 the dream H2493 before H6925 them; but they did not make known H3046 to me the interpretation H6591 thereof.

The king H4430 cried H7123 aloud H2429 to bring H5924 in the astrologers, H826 the Chaldeans, H3779 and the soothsayers. H1505 And the king H4430 spoke, H6032 and said H560 to the wise H2445 men of Babylon, H895 Whoever H3605 shall read H7123 this H1836 writing, H3792 and show H2324 me the interpretation H6591 thereof, shall be clothed H3848 with scarlet, H711 and have a chain H2002 of gold H1722 about H5922 his neck, H6676 and shall be the third H8523 ruler H7981 in the kingdom. H4437

There is a man H1400 in your kingdom, H4437 in whom H1768 is the spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods; H426 and in the days H3118 of your father H2 light H5094 and understanding H7924 and wisdom, H2452 like the wisdom H2452 of the gods, H426 was found H7912 in him; whom the king H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 your father, H2 the king, H4430 I say, your father, H2 made master H7229 of the magicians, H2749 astrologers, H826 Chaldeans, H3779 and soothsayers; H1505

Then G1161 certain G5100 philosophers G5386 of the Epicureans, G1946 and of the Stoicks, G4770 encountered G4820 him. And some G5100 said, G3004 What G5101 will G2309 this G3778 babbler G4691 say? G3004 other some, G3588 He seems G1380 to be a setter G2604 forth G2604 of strange G3581 gods: G1140 because G3754 he preached G2097 to them Jesus, G2424 and the resurrection. G386

Now G1161 when Jesus G2424 was born G1080 in Bethlehem G965 of Judaea G2449 in the days G2250 of Herod G2264 the king, G935 behold, G2400 there came G3854 wise G3097 men from the east G395 to Jerusalem, G2414

And Moses G3475 was learned G3811 in all G3956 the wisdom G4678 of the Egyptians, G124 and was mighty G1415 in words G3056 and in deeds. G2041

And they said H559 to him, We have dreamed H2492 a dream, H2472 and there is no H369 interpreter H6622 of it. And Joseph H3130 said H559 to them, Do not interpretations H6623 belong to God? H430 tell H5608 me them, I pray H4994 you.

He disappoints H6565 the devices H4284 of the crafty, H6175 so that their hands H3027 cannot H3808 H3201 perform their enterprise. H8454

He takes H3920 the wise H2450 in their own craftiness: H6193 and the counsel H6098 of the fraudulent H6617 is carried H4116 headlong.

The secret H5475 of the LORD H3068 is with them that fear H3373 him; and he will show H3045 them his covenant. H1285

Surely H389 the princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are fools, H191 the counsel H6098 of the wise H2450 counsellors H3289 of Pharaoh H6547 is become H1197 brutish: H1197 how H349 say H559 you to Pharaoh, H6547 I am the son H1121 of the wise, H2450 the son H1121 of ancient H6924 kings? H4428

The princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are become H2973 fools, H2973 the princes H8269 of Noph H5297 are deceived; H5377 they have also seduced H8582 Egypt, H4714 even they that are the stay H6438 of the tribes H7626 thereof.

Therefore, H3651 behold, H2005 I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous H6381 work H6381 among this H2088 people, H5971 even a marvelous H6381 work H6381 and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish, H6 and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid. H5641

Then spoke H1696 the Chaldeans H3779 to the king H4428 in Syriack, H762 O king, H4430 live H2418 for ever: H5957 tell H560 your servants H5649 the dream, H2493 and we will show H2324 the interpretation. H6591

But if H2006 you show H2324 the dream, H2493 and the interpretation H6591 thereof, you shall receive H6902 of me gifts H4978 and rewards H5023 and great H7690 honor: H3367 therefore H2006 show H2324 me the dream, H2493 and the interpretation H6591 thereof.

The king H4430 answered H6032 and said, H560 I know H3046 of certainty H3330 that you would gain H2084 the time, H5732 because H3606 you see H2370 the thing H4406 is gone H230 from me.

The Chaldeans H3779 answered H6032 before H6925 the king, H4430 and said, H560 There is not a man H606 on the earth H3007 that can H3202 show H2324 the king's H4430 matter: H4406 therefore H3606 there is no H3606 H3809 king, H4430 lord, H7229 nor ruler, H7990 that asked H7593 such H1836 things at any H3606 magician, H2749 or astrologer, H826 or Chaldean. H3777

Then H116 came H5954 in all H3606 the king's H4430 wise H2445 men: but they could H3546 not read H7123 the writing, H3792 nor make known H3046 to the king H4430 the interpretation H6591 thereof.

For it is written, G1125 I will destroy G622 the wisdom G4678 of the wise, G4680 and will bring G114 to nothing G114 the understanding G4907 of the prudent. G4908

Let no G3367 man G3367 deceive G1818 himself. G1438 If G1487 any G1536 man among G1722 you seems G1380 to be wise G4680 in this G5129 world, G165 let him become G1096 a fool, G3474 that he may be wise. G4680

And again, G3825 The Lord G2962 knows G1097 the thoughts G1261 of the wise, G4680 that they are vain. G3152
