Daniel 5:18New Messianic Version BibleO youi king, the most high God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gave N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] youi father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: See the chapter |
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
And at the end of the days I N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me, and I Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the most High, and I praised and honoured him that lives forever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation:
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling [was] with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that] he appoints over it whomsoever he will.
Then Dani’el [God is Judge], whose name [was] Belt-shatzar [lord of the straitened (impeded or restricted; narrowed, distressed)’s treasure], was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belt-shatzar [lord of the straitened (impeded or restricted; narrowed, distressed)’s treasure], let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble youi. Belt-shatzar [lord of the straitened (impeded or restricted; narrowed, distressed)’s treasure] answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate youi, and the interpretation thereof to youi enemies.
