Daniel 5:19New Messianic Version BibleAnd for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. See the chapter |
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss (wrong; incorrect) against the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Shadrakh [royal, or the great scribe], Meishakh [guest of the king], and ‘Aved-N’go [servant of Nebo], shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that can deliver after this sort.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
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.
