⁴⁵ just as ^(A)you saw that ^(B)a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that ^(C)it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A ^(D)great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

⁴⁶ Then King Nebuchadnezzar ^(E)fell upon his face and ^(F)paid homage to Daniel, and commanded that ^(G)an offering and ^(H)incense be offered up to him. ⁴⁷ The king answered and said to Daniel, “Truly, your ^(I)God is God of gods and ^(J)Lord of kings, and ^(K)a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.” ⁴⁸ Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great ^(L)gifts, and made him ruler over the whole ^(M)province of Babylon and ^(N)chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. ⁴⁹ Daniel made a request of the king, and he ^(O)appointed ^(P)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of ^(Q)the province of Babylon. But Daniel ^(R)remained at the king's court.
