1So, in year two of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, dude had some wild dreams that messed with his vibes, and he couldn't sleep, fr.

2The king was like, "Yo, call all the magicians, astrologers, and sorcerers, let's get this dream decoded." They pulled up and stood before him.

3The king told them, "I had this crazy dream, and it’s got my spirit all shook. I need to know what it means."

4The Chaldeans were like, "O king, live forever! Just spill the dream, and we’ll give you the 411 on what it means."

5The king hit back, "Nah, I forgot the dream. If you can’t tell me what it was and what it means, it's game over for you, and your houses will be a total mess."

6"But if you can tell me the dream and what it means, I’ll hook you up with gifts and mad respect. So, let’s hear it."

7They replied, "Just tell us the dream, and we’ll drop the interpretation for you, no cap."

8The king was like, "I know you’re just stalling because you can't remember the dream I had."

9"But if you don’t tell me the dream, here’s the deal: I know you’re just saying sus stuff to buy time. So spill the dream, and I’ll know you can actually interpret it."

10The Chaldeans were like, "There’s no one on earth who can break this down for you, king. No king, lord, or ruler has ever asked for this from any magician or astrologer, periodt."

11The king's request is super rare, and no one can spill the tea except for the gods, who don’t vibe with humans.

12The king was mad mad and ordered all the wise guys in Babylon to be taken out, no cap.

13So the order dropped that the wise men were to be taken out; they were on the hunt for Daniel and his crew to do the same.

14Daniel pulled up with some wisdom and gave advice to Arioch, the king's guard, who was set to take out the wise men.

15He was like, "Yo Arioch, why is the king trippin' with this rushed order?" Arioch then filled Daniel in on the situation.

16Daniel went in and asked the king for some time to drop the interpretation, periodt.

17Then Daniel hit up his place and told his homies Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what's good.

18They were all about asking for mercy from the God of heaven about this secret so they wouldn't go down with the other wise men.

19Then the secret popped off in a night vision, and Daniel was all about blessing the God of heaven.

20Daniel said, “Big ups to God’s name forever and ever; wisdom and might are totally his vibes.”

21He switches up the times and seasons, takes down kings and lifts them up: he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who get it, no cap.

22He spills the tea on deep and secret stuff: he knows what’s hidden in the dark, and the light's vibing with him.

23I’m grateful and hyped, O God of my fam, who blessed me with wisdom and strength, and showed me what we asked for: you let us in on the king’s business.

24So Daniel rolled up to Arioch, the dude the king picked to wipe out the wise guys of Babylon, and said, “Don’t take out the wise men, fam: bring me to the king, and I’ll break down the dream.”

25Arioch was quick to bring Daniel to the king and said, “I found a Judah dude who can drop the interpretation for you.”

26The king was like, “Yo Daniel, aka Belteshazzar, can you tell me the dream I had and what it means?”

27Daniel said in front of the king, “The secret you want? The wise men, astrologers, and magicians can’t show you that, fr.”

28But there’s a God in heaven who reveals secrets and is about to let King Nebuchadnezzar know what’s gonna go down later. Your dream and the visions you had in bed are these.

29As for you, king, your thoughts popped up while you were chilling in bed about what’s gonna happen next: and the one who reveals secrets is about to let you know what’s coming.

30But for me, this secret wasn’t revealed 'cause I’m wiser than anyone else; it’s for the sake of those who’ll tell the king the meaning, so you can know what’s on your heart.

31Yo, king, you peeped that massive statue? It was shining hard, but lowkey scary vibes.

32The head was straight-up gold, the chest and arms were silver, and the belly and thighs were all brass, no cap.

33Legs made of iron, feet were a mix of iron and clay, kinda sus.

34You saw a stone just pop outta nowhere and smashed the statue’s feet, breaking it all apart.

35Then all that iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold shattered like summer dust, and the wind just took it away. That stone turned into a massive mountain, filling the whole earth.

36This is the dream, and we’re about to spill the tea on what it means for you, king.

37You, king, are the ultimate king: God in heaven gave you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory, straight up goated.

38Wherever people chill, all the animals and birds are under your control; you’re the head of gold, fr.

39After you, another kingdom will come that's not as lit, then a third one made of brass that will rule over the whole earth.

40The fourth kingdom is gonna be as strong as iron, breaking everything in its path, like iron does, no cap.

41You saw the feet and toes, part clay and part iron, so this kingdom's gonna be split; but it’s got some iron strength, no cap, since you saw that iron mixed with muddy clay.

42The toes were part iron, part clay, so this kingdom's gonna be kinda strong, but also kinda broken, fr.

43You saw iron mixed with muddy clay, and they’ll vibe with the people, but they won’t stick together, just like iron doesn’t mix with clay, periodt.

44In the days of these kings, the God of heaven's gonna set up a kingdom that’s never getting wrecked; it won’t be given to others, it’ll crush all these kingdoms, and it’ll stand forever, lit.

45You saw that stone cut from the mountain without hands, smashing the iron, brass, clay, silver, and gold; the great God let the king know what’s gonna happen next: the dream is legit, and the interpretation is solid.

46Then King Nebuchadnezzar hit the ground and worshipped Daniel, telling them to offer him some sweet vibes and gifts.

47The king told Daniel, “For real, your God is the GOAT of gods, Lord of kings, and reveals secrets, since you could spill this tea.”

48Then the king made Daniel a big deal, gave him mad gifts, made him ruler over all Babylon, and chief of the wise guys there, no cap.

49Daniel asked the king, and he put Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in charge of Babylon’s stuff, but Daniel chillaxed at the king’s gate.

1And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

2Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

3And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

4Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

5The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

7They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

8The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

10The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

11And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

13And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

14Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

15He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

17Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

20Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

21And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

23I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.

24Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

25Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

26The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

27Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

28But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

29As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

30But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

31Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

32This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

33His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

37Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

38And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

39And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

46Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

47The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

48Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

49Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
