1 During the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled him. As a result, he couldn't sleep. 2 So the king gave orders to summon diviners, enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans to reveal to the king what he had dreamed. When they came and stood before him, 3 the king told them, |I have dreamed a dream and I will remain troubled until I can understand it.| 4 The Chaldeans responded to the king in Aramaic: |May the king live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we'll reveal its meaning.| 5 In reply the king told the Chaldeans, |Here is what I have commanded: If you don't tell me both the dream and its meaning, you'll be destroyed and your houses will be reduced to rubble. 6 But if you do relate the dream to me as well as its meaning, you'll receive gifts, rewards, and great honor from me. Therefore reveal the dream to me, along with its meaning.| Daniel 2:1-6, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
