In the second year of [his] reign Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream, and his spirit was amazed, and his sleep departed from him.

In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.

Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his hips were loosed, and his knees knocked one another.

Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live forever. Let not your thoughts trouble you, and let not your countenance be changed.

This is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.

And it came to pass after two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.

I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.

You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions.

But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what things must come to pass in the last days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are as follows:

O king: your thoughts upon your bed arose [as to] what must come to pass hereafter: and He that reveals mysteries has made known to you what must come to pass.
