You, O king, were seeing. And, behold, a certain great image! This great image stood before you with a brilliant brightness, and its form was terrible.
And I will visit evil on the world, and their iniquity on the wicked ones. And I will cause the arrogance of the proud ones to cease; and I will humble the pride of tyrants.
behold, so I will bring on you awesome strangers of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold whose height was sixty cubits; its breadth, six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
In its moment my reason and the glory of my kingdom returned to me, my majesty, and my brightness returned to me. And my advisers and my nobles sought to me. And I was re-established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.
