Gen Z: Daniel 4
1Yo, Nebuchadnezzar the king, shoutout to everyone out there, all the peeps and nations, peace vibes to you all.
2I thought it was dope to share the wild signs and wonders that the high God did for me.
3How lit are his signs! And how powerful are his wonders! His kingdom is forever, and his rizz spans generations.
4I, Nebuchadnezzar, was chillin' at home, living my best life in my palace.
5But then I had this dream that totally freaked me out, and the thoughts in my head were sus.
6So, I made a call to gather all the wise guys of Babylon to help me decode this dream.
7The magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers showed up, but they couldn't figure out what my dream meant.
8Finally, Daniel rolled in, aka Belteshazzar, who had the spirit of the holy gods, and I told him my dream.
9Yo, Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, I know you got that holy god rizz, so spill the tea on my dream and what it means.
10So, I was vibing in my bed, and I saw a tree right in the middle of the earth, and it was huge, no cap.
11The tree was vibin', super strong, reaching all the way to heaven, and you could see it from everywhere on Earth, no cap.
12Its leaves were fire, and the fruit was mad plentiful; it was like a buffet for all the animals, with shade for the beasts and chill spots for the birds.
13I had this wild vision while I was chillin' in bed, and outta nowhere, a watcher and a holy one dropped down from heaven.
14He shouted loud, saying, "Chop down the tree, cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts bounce from under it, and the birds from its branches."
15But for real, leave the stump and roots in the ground, wrapped in iron and brass, with some soft grass around it; let it soak up that heavenly dew, and let it hang with the beasts in the grass.
16Change his heart from human vibes to beastly vibes; let seven times roll over him.
17This is all from the decree of the watchers, and the holy ones said it: so the living know that the Most High is the ultimate ruler in the kingdom of men, giving it to whoever he wants, even the most sus of dudes.
18I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had this dream. Now, Belteshazzar, you gotta break it down for me, 'cause all my wise guys can't figure it out, but you got the rizz; the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
19Then Daniel, aka Belteshazzar, was shook for a whole hour, his thoughts were all over the place. The king said, "Belteshazzar, don’t let this dream or its meaning stress you out." Belteshazzar replied, "My dude, this dream’s for those who hate you, and the meaning’s for your enemies."
20The tree you saw, it was growing strong and tall, reaching up to heaven, and you could see it from all over the Earth.
21The leaves were dope, and the fruit was mad plentiful, like a buffet for all; animals chillin' under it, and birds were vibin' on its branches.
22Yo, king, you’ve leveled up and gotten strong: your greatness is wild, reaching the sky, and your power stretches to the ends of the earth.
23The king saw a watcher, a holy vibe, coming down from heaven, saying, "Chop that tree down, but keep the roots in the ground, wrapped in iron and brass, chillin' in the grass; let it soak up that heavenly dew, and hang with the beasts until seven times pass over."
24Here’s the tea, king, this is the word from the Most High that’s dropped on you.
25They’re gonna boot you from your crew, and you’ll be living with the animals, munching on grass like cattle, getting soaked by heaven’s dew, until you realize the Most High runs things in the kingdom of men and gives it to whoever He wants, no cap.
26They told you to leave the tree's roots; your kingdom will be safe once you understand that the heavens are in charge.
27So, king, take my advice, and ditch your bad vibes with good actions, and show mercy to the poor; it might just give you some chill time.
28All this went down with King Nebuchadnezzar.
29After a year, he was strutting around his palace in Babylon.
30The king said, "Ain’t this dope Babylon, the place I built for my kingdom with my power, and for my own glory?"
31While the word was still vibing in the king’s mouth, a voice from heaven dropped, saying, "Yo king Nebuchadnezzar, this is for you; the kingdom's been taken, no cap."
32They gonna kick you from your squad, and you’ll be chilling with the animals; you’ll munch on grass like a cow, and seven times will pass till you realize that the Most High runs the kingdom and gives it to whoever he wants.
33That same hour, it hit Nebuchadnezzar hard: he got kicked from his crew, ate grass like a cow, and his body was drenched with heaven’s dew, hair looking like eagle feathers and nails like bird claws.
34After a while, I Nebuchadnezzar looked up to heaven, my mind came back, and I blessed the Most High, praising and honoring the one who lives forever, whose rule is forever and ever, and his kingdom lasts through all generations.
35Everyone on earth is basically nothing; he does what he wants with the heavenly squad and everyone here, and no one can stop him or ask, "What are you doing?"
36At that moment, my mind came back; for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned, my advisors came back to me, and I was set up in my kingdom, and mad majesty was added to me.
37Now I Nebuchadnezzar shout out and honor the King of heaven, whose works are all truth, and his ways are straight up justice; he can bring down those who walk in pride, fr.
