The King’s Forgotten Dream1 Now in the second° year° of the reign° of Nebuchadnezzar°, Nebuchadnezzar° Iahad° dreams°; and his spirit° was troubled° and his bsleep° IIleft° him. 2 Then the king° Igave° orders° to call° in the IIamagicians°, the conjurers°, the sorcerers° and the IIIChaldeans° to tell° the king° his dreams°. So they came° in and stood° before° the king°. 3 The king° said° to them, “I Iahad° a dream° and my spirit° IIis anxious° to IIIunderstand° the dream°.” [1] ILit dreamed dreams IILit was gone upon him aGn 40:5-8; 41:1, 8; Jb 33:15-17; Dn 2:3; 4:5 bEs 6:1; Dn 6:18

For you have agreed° together° to speak° lying° and corrupt° IIwords° before° me until°° the IIIsituation° is changed°; therefore° tell° me the dream°, that I may bknow° that you can declare° to me its interpretation°.” 10 The Chaldeans° answered° Ithe king° and said°, “There° is not a man° on earth° who° could° declare° the matter° IIfor the king°, inasmuch°°° as no°° great° king° or ruler° has [ever] asked° anything° like this° of any° IIIamagician°, conjurer° or Chaldean°. 11 Moreover, the thing° which° the king° demands° is Idifficult°, and there° is no° one° else° who° could declare° it IIto the king° except° agods°, whose° bdwelling° place° is not with [mortal] flesh°.” [4] IThe text is in Aramaic from here through 7:28 aEzr 4:7; Is 36:11 bDn 3:9; 5:10 cDn 2:7

Nebuchadnezzar, forgetting his dream, requireth it of the Chaldeans, by promises and threatenings.1 ¶ And in the secondº yearº of the reignº of Nebuchadnezzarº Nebuchadnezzarº dreamedºª dreams,º wherewith his spiritº was troubled,ºª and his sleepº brakeºª from² him. 2 Then the kingº commandedºª to callºª the magicians,º and the astrologers,º and the sorcerers,ºª and the Chaldeans,º for to shewºª the kingº his dreams.º So they cameºª and stoodºª beforeº the king.º 3 And the kingº saidºª unto them, I have dreamedºª a dream,º and my spiritº was troubledºª to knowºª² the dream.º 4 Then spakeºª the Chaldeansº to the kingº in Syriack,º O king,º liveºª for ever:º tellºª thy servantsº the dream,º and we will shewºª the interpretation.º 5 The kingº answeredºª and saidºª to the Chaldeans,º The thingº is goneºª from² me:¹ ifº ye will notº make knownºª unto me the dream,º with the interpretationº thereof, ye shall be cutºª in pieces,º and your housesº shall be madeºª a dunghill.º 6 But ifº ye shewºª the dream,º and the interpretationº thereof, ye shall receiveºª ofº² me¹ giftsº and rewardsº and greatº honour:º thereforeº shewºª me the dream,º and the interpretationº thereof. 7 They answeredºª againº and said,ºª Let the kingº tellºª his servantsº the dream,º and we will shewºª the interpretationº of it. 8 The kingº answeredºª and said,ºª Iº knowºª ofº certaintyº that² yeº would gainºª the time,º becauseºº² ye seeºª² the thingº is goneºª fromº me. 9 But² ifº ye will notº make knownºª unto me the dream,º [there is but] oneº¹ decreeº for you: for ye have preparedºª lyingº and corruptºª wordsº to speakºª beforeº me, tillº² the timeº be changed:ºª thereforeº tellºª me the dream,º and I shall knowºª thatº ye can shewºª me the interpretationº thereof.
