Daniel 3-6
New American Standard Bible 1995

The King’s Golden Image

3 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an (A)image of gold, the height of which was sixty [a]cubits and its width six [b]cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the (B)province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the (C)satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 3 Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you [c]the command is given, (D)O peoples, nations and men of every [d]language, 5 that at the moment you (E)hear the sound of the horn, flute, [e]lyre, [f]trigon, [g]psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6 But whoever does not fall down and worship shall [h]immediately be (F)cast into the midst of a (G)furnace of blazing fire.” 7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, [i]lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every [j]language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Worship of the Image Refused

8 For this reason at that time certain (H)Chaldeans came forward and [k](I)brought charges against the Jews. 9 They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “(J)O king, live forever! 10 You, O king, have (K)made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, [l]lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe and all kinds of music, is to (L)fall down and worship the golden image. 11 But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire. 12 There are certain Jews whom you have (M)appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in (N)rage and anger gave orders to bring Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego; then these men were brought before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve (O)my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready, (P)at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, [m]lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will [n]immediately be (Q)cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and (R)what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?”

16 (S)Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. 17 [o]If it be so, our (T)God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; [p]and (U)He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 (V)But even if He does not, (W)let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

Daniel’s Friends Protected

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with (X)wrath, and his facial expression was altered toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. He answered [q]by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 He commanded certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in order to cast them into the furnace of blazing fire. 21 Then these men were tied up in their [r](Y)trousers, their [s]coats, their caps and their other clothes, and were cast into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. 22 For this reason, because the king’s [t]command was [u](Z)urgent and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. 23 But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, (AA)fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, “Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, O king.” 25 He said, “Look! I see four men loosed and (AB)walking about in the midst of the fire [v]without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the (AC)gods!” 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the (AD)Most High God, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego (AE)came out of the midst of the fire. 27 The (AF)satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the (AG)fire had no [w]effect on [x]the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their [y](AH)trousers [z]damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.

28 Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, “Blessed be the (AI)God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has (AJ)sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their (AK)trust in Him, [aa]violating the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies so as (AL)not to serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I (AM)make a decree that any people, nation or tongue that speaks anything offensive against the God of (AN)Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their (AO)houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is (AP)no other god who is able to deliver in this way.” 30 Then the king (AQ)caused Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego to prosper in the province of Babylon.

The King Acknowledges God

4 [ab]Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every [ac]language that live in all the earth: “May your [ad](AR)peace abound! 2 It has seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the (AS)Most High God has done for me.

3 “How great are His (AT)signs
And how mighty are His wonders!
His (AU)kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
And His dominion is from generation to generation.

The Vision of a Great Tree

4 “[ae]I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and (AV)flourishing in my palace. 5 I saw a (AW)dream and it made me fearful; and these fantasies as I lay on my bed and the (AX)visions [af]in my mind kept alarming me. 6 So I gave orders to (AY)bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7 Then the [ag](AZ)magicians, the conjurers, the [ah]Chaldeans and the diviners came in and I related the dream [ai]to them, but they could not make its (BA)interpretation known to me. 8 But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is (BB)Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is [aj](BC)a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream [ak]to him, saying, 9 ‘O Belteshazzar, (BD)chief of the magicians, since I know that (BE)a spirit of the holy gods is in you and (BF)no mystery baffles you, (BG)tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

10 ‘Now these were the (BH)visions [al]in my mind as I lay on my bed: I was looking, and behold, there was a (BI)tree in the midst of the [am]earth and its height was great.

11 ‘The tree grew large and became strong
And its height (BJ)reached to the sky,
And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
12 ‘Its foliage was (BK)beautiful and its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
The (BL)beasts of the field found (BM)shade under it,
And the (BN)birds of the sky dwelt in its branches,
And all [an]living creatures fed themselves from it.

13 ‘I was looking in the (BO)visions [ao]in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, (BP)an angelic watcher, a (BQ)holy one, descended from heaven.

14 ‘He shouted out and spoke as follows:
(BR)Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit;
Let the (BS)beasts flee from under it
And the birds from its branches.
15 “Yet (BT)leave the stump [ap]with its roots in the ground,
But with a band of iron and bronze around it
In the new grass of the field;
And let him be drenched with the dew of heaven,
And let [aq]him share with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
16 “Let his [ar]mind be changed from that of a man
And let a beast’s [as]mind be given to him,
And let (BU)seven [at]periods of time pass over him.
17 “This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers
And the decision is a command of the holy ones,
In order that the living may (BV)know
That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind,
And (BW)bestows it on whom He wishes
And sets over it the (BX)lowliest of men.”

18 This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the (BY)wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a (BZ)spirit of the holy gods is in you.’

Daniel Interprets the Vision

19 “Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his (CA)thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, ‘Belteshazzar, do not (CB)let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.’ Belteshazzar replied, ‘(CC)My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to (CD)your adversaries! 20 The (CE)tree that you saw, which became large and grew strong, whose height reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth 21 and whose foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt and in whose branches the birds of the sky lodged— 22 it is (CF)you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your [au]majesty has become great and reached to the sky and your (CG)dominion to the end of the earth. 23 In that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, “(CH)Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump [av]with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let [aw]him share with the beasts of the field until (CI)seven [ax]periods of time pass over him,” 24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has (CJ)come upon my lord the king: 25 that you be (CK)driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven [ay]periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the (CL)Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and (CM)bestows it on whomever He wishes. 26 And in that it was commanded to (CN)leave the stump [az]with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be [ba]assured to you after you recognize that it is (CO)Heaven that rules. 27 Therefore, O king, may my (CP)advice be pleasing to you: [bb](CQ)break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by (CR)showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a (CS)prolonging of your prosperity.’

The Vision Fulfilled

28 “All this (CT)happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. 29 (CU)Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. 30 The king [bc]reflected and said, ‘Is this not Babylon the (CV)great, which I myself have built as a royal [bd]residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?’ 31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice [be]came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: [bf]sovereignty has been removed from you, 32 and (CW)you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and (CX)seven [bg]periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the (CY)Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’ 33 Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was (CZ)driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

34 “But at the end of [bh]that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my [bi]reason returned to me, and I blessed the (DA)Most High and praised and honored (DB)Him who lives forever;

For His dominion is an (DC)everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
35 “(DD)All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
But (DE)He does according to His will in the host of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And (DF)no one can [bj]ward off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘(DG)What have You done?’

36 At that time my [bk](DH)reason returned to me. And my majesty and (DI)splendor were [bl]restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my [bm]sovereignty, and surpassing (DJ)greatness was added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of (DK)heaven, for (DL)all His works are [bn]true and His ways [bo]just, and He is able to humble those who (DM)walk in pride.”

Belshazzar’s Feast

5 Belshazzar the king [bp]held a great (DN)feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand. 2 When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver (DO)vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his [bq]father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3 Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 They (DP)drank the wine and praised the gods of (DQ)gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

5 Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the [br]back of the hand that did the writing. 6 Then the king’s [bs](DR)face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his (DS)hip joints went slack and his (DT)knees began knocking together. 7 The king called aloud to bring in the (DU)conjurers, the [bt]Chaldeans and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Any man who can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me shall be (DV)clothed with purple and have a (DW)necklace of gold around his neck, and have authority as [bu](DX)third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but (DY)they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to the king. 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly (DZ)alarmed, his [bv](EA)face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.

10 The queen entered the banquet [bw]hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen spoke and said, “(EB)O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts alarm you or your [bx]face be pale. 11 There is a (EC)man in your kingdom in whom is [by]a (ED)spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father [bz](EE)the king, appointed him chief of the [ca]magicians, conjurers, [cb]Chaldeans and diviners. 12 This was because an (EF)extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named (EG)Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”

Daniel Interprets Handwriting on the Wall

13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel who is one of the [cc](EH)exiles from Judah, whom my father the king (EI)brought from Judah? 14 Now I have heard about you that [cd]a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you. 15 Just now the (EJ)wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they (EK)could not declare the interpretation of the [ce]message. 16 But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its (EL)interpretation known to me, you will be (EM)clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the [cf]third ruler in the kingdom.”

17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “[cg]Keep your (EN)gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him. 18 [ch]O king, the (EO)Most High God (EP)granted [ci]sovereignty, (EQ)grandeur, glory and majesty to Nebuchadnezzar your father. 19 Because of the grandeur which He bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations and men of every [cj]language feared and trembled before him; (ER)whomever he wished he killed and whomever he wished he spared alive; and whomever he wished he elevated and whomever he wished he humbled. 20 But when his heart was (ES)lifted up and his spirit became so [ck](ET)proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was (EU)deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him. 21 He was also (EV)driven away from [cl]mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the (EW)wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the (EX)Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes. 22 Yet you, his [cm]son, Belshazzar, have (EY)not humbled your heart, [cn]even though you knew all this, 23 but you have (EZ)exalted yourself against the (FA)Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the (FB)gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God (FC)in whose hand are your life-breath and all your (FD)ways, you have not glorified. 24 Then the [co](FE)hand was sent from Him and this inscription was written out.

25 “Now this is the inscription that was written out: ‘[cp]MENĒ, [cq]MENĒ, [cr]TEKĒL, [cs]UPHARSIN.’ 26 This is the interpretation of the [ct]message: ‘MENĒ’—God has numbered your kingdom and (FF)put an end to it. 27 ‘TEKĒL’—you have been (FG)weighed on the scales and found deficient. 28 ‘PERĒS’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the (FH)Medes and [cu]Persians.”

29 Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they (FI)clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the [cv]third ruler in the kingdom.

30 That same night (FJ)Belshazzar the Chaldean king was (FK)slain. 31 [cw]So (FL)Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.

Daniel Serves Darius

6 [cx]It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom, 2 and over them three commissioners (of whom (FM)Daniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer (FN)loss. 3 Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself [cy]among the commissioners and satraps because [cz]he possessed an (FO)extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the (FP)entire kingdom. 4 Then the commissioners and satraps began (FQ)trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to [da]government affairs; but they could find (FR)no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him. 5 Then these men said, “We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the (FS)law of his God.”

6 Then these commissioners and satraps came [db]by agreement to the king and spoke to him as follows: “King Darius, (FT)live forever! 7 All the (FU)commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have (FV)consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall (FW)be cast into the lions’ [dc]den. 8 Now, O king, (FX)establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the (FY)law of the Medes and Persians, which [dd]may not be revoked.” 9 Therefore King Darius (FZ)signed the document, that is, the injunction.

10 Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open (GA)toward Jerusalem); and he continued (GB)kneeling on his knees three times a day, (GC)praying and (GD)giving thanks before his God, [de]as he had been doing previously. 11 Then these men came [df](GE)by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. 12 Then they approached and (GF)spoke before the king about the king’s injunction, “Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions’ den?” The king replied, “The statement is true, according to the (GG)law of the Medes and Persians, which [dg]may not be revoked.” 13 Then they answered and spoke before the king, “(GH)Daniel, who is one of the [dh]exiles from Judah, pays (GI)no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day.”

14 Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply (GJ)distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him. 15 Then these men came [di]by agreement to the king and said to the king, “Recognize, O king, that it is a (GK)law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed.”

Daniel in the Lions’ Den

16 Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and (GL)cast into the lions’ den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “[dj](GM)Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you.” 17 A (GN)stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel. 18 Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night (GO)fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his (GP)sleep fled from him.

19 Then the king arose at dawn, at the break of day, and went in haste to the lions’ den. 20 When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has (GQ)your God, whom you constantly serve, been (GR)able to deliver you from the lions?” 21 Then Daniel spoke [dk]to the king, “(GS)O king, live forever! 22 My God (GT)sent His angel and (GU)shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as [dl]I was found innocent before Him; and also [dm]toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.” 23 Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and (GV)no injury whatever was found on him, because he had (GW)trusted in his God. 24 The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had [dn]maliciously accused Daniel, and they (GX)cast them, their (GY)children and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

25 Then Darius the king wrote to all the (GZ)peoples, nations and men of every [do]language who were living in all the land: “(HA)May your [dp]peace abound! 26 [dq]I (HB)make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel;

For He is the (HC)living God and (HD)enduring forever,
And (HE)His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed,
And His dominion will be [dr]forever.
27 “He delivers and rescues and performs (HF)signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has also delivered Daniel from the [ds]power of the lions.”

28 So this (HG)Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of (HH)Cyrus the Persian.
