17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding(A) of all kinds of literature and learning.(B) And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.(C)

18 At the end of the time(D) set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service.(E) 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians(F) and enchanters in his whole kingdom.(G)

21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.(H)

17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

16 Then they gathered the kings together(D) to the place that in Hebrew(E) is called Armageddon.(F)

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,(G) and out of the temple(H) came a loud voice(I) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”(J) 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder(K) and a severe earthquake.(L) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,(M) so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city(N) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered(O) Babylon the Great(P) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.(Q) 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.(R) 21 From the sky huge hailstones,(S) each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people.

  1. Revelation 16:21 Or about 45 kilograms

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
