Daniel 4

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.

KJV: Daniel 4

1Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

2I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.

3How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

4I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

5I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

6Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

7Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

8But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

9O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

10Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

11The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

12The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

13I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

14He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

15Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

16Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

17This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

18This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

19Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

20The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

21Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:

22It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

23And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

24This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

25That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

26And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

27Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

28All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

34And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
