Daniel 2:44-49

New International Version

⁴⁴ “In the time 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 crush^(A) all those kingdoms^(B) and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.^{(C) 45} This is the meaning of the vision of the rock^(D) cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands^(E)—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.^(F) The dream is true^(G) and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

⁴⁶ Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate^(H) before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering^(I) and incense be presented to him. ⁴⁷ The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods^(J) and the Lord of kings^(K) and a revealer of mysteries,^(L) for you were able to reveal this mystery.^(M)”

⁴⁸ Then the king placed Daniel in a high^(N) position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men.^{(O) 49} Moreover, at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon,^(P) while Daniel himself remained at the royal court.^(Q)
