And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my 7 father brought out of Jewry? 14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom, is found in thee. 15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst tfmake interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now, if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 17 Then Daniei answered and said before the king, Let? thy gifts be to thyself, anti give thy /!rewards to another; yet I will read the writingr unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 19 And, for the majesty that he gave him, all“ people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive, and whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put dowrn. £0 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened 0־ in pride, he was tdeposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: 21 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 ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he The king driven among leasts. DANIEL, V. saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee B. C. 569. it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee : 32 And5 they shall drive thee from men, and thy dw elling shall le with the beasts of the field : they shall make thee to eat erass 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 lie will. 33 The 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. 34 And 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 Jivetli for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting* dominion, and his kingdom ts from generation/ to generation : 35 And* 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? 36 At 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 mv lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added * unto me. 37 Now 1 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. -P.

VERSIO GRÆCA LXX. INTERP. IV. r. 28. DANIEL v. r. Cl. spices. Et prolòquens rex ait sapien. tibus Babylonis: Quicumque legerit scripturam hanc, et interpretationem ejus manifestam mihi iecerit, purpura vestietur, et torquem auream habebit in collo, et tertius in regno meo erit. 8 Tune ingressi omnes sapientes regis non potuerunt nec scripturam legere, nec interpretationem indicare regi. 9 Unde rex Baltassar satis conturbatus est, et vultus illius immutatus est, sed et optimates ejus turbabaqtur. 10 Regina autem pro re, qure aceiderat regi.etoptimatibus ejus, domum convivii ingressa est : et proloquens ait: Rex, in aeternum vive : non teconturbent cogita-tiones ture, neque facies tua immutetur. 11 Est vir in regno tuo, qui spiritum deorum sanctorum habet in se : et in diebus patris tui scientia et sapientia inventai sunt in eo - nam et rex Nabu-chodonosor pater tuus principem mago-rum, incantatorum, Chaldaeorum, et aruspicum constituiteum, pater, inquam, tuus, o rex: 12 Quia spiritus amplior, et prudentia, intelligentiaque et interpretatio somnio-rum, et ostensio secretorum, ac solutio ligatorum inventae sunt in eo, hoc est in Daniele : cui rex posuit nomen Baltassar; nunc itaque Daniel vocetur, et interpretationem narrabit. 13 lgitur introductus est Daniel coram rege. Ad quem praefatus rex ait : Tu es Daniel de filiis captivitatis Judae, quem adduxit pater meus rex de Judaea? 14 Audivi de te quoniam spiritum deorum habeas: et scientia, intelligentiaque, ac sapientia, ampliores inventae sunt in te. 15 Et nunc introgressi sunt in con-spectu meo sapientes magi, ut scripturam haue legerent, et interpretationein ejus iudicarent mihi : et nequiverunt sensum hujus sermonis edicere. 16 Porro ego audivi de te, quòd pos sis obscura interpretari, et ligata dissol vere : si ergo vales scripturam iegere, et interpretationem ejus indicare mihi, purpura vestieris, et torquem aureani circa collum tuum habebis, et tertius in regno meo priuceps eris. 17 Ad qus respondens Daniel, ait coram rege: Munera tua sint tibi, et dona domus tuaj alteri da: scripturam autem legam tibi. rex, et interpretationem ejus ostendam tibi. 18 O rex, Deus altissimus regnum, et magnificentiam, gloriam, et honorem dedit Nabuehodonosor patri tuo. 19 Et propter magnificentiam, quam dederat ei, universi populi. tribus, et linguae tremebant, et metuebant eum : quos volebat, intei tìciebat : et quos vole-bat, percutiebat : et quos volebat, exal-tabat : et quos volebat, humiliabat. 20 Quando autem elevatum est cor ejus, et spiritus illius obfirmatus est ad superbiam, depositus est de solio regni sui, et gloria ejus ablata est : 21 Et a liliis hominum ejectus est, sed et cor ejus cura bestiis positum est, et cum onagris erat habitatio ejus : feenum quoque ut bos comedebat, et rore cceli corpus ejus infectum est, donec coguos-ceret quòd potestatem haberet Altissi- £8 Cumque sermo adirne esset in ore regis, vox de ccelo mit: Tibi dicitur, Nabuehodonosor rex: Regnum tuum transibit a te, £9 Et ab hominibus ejicient te, et cum bestiis et feris erit habitatio tua : teenum quasi bos comedes, et septem tempora mutabuntur super te, donec scias quòd dominetur Excelsus in regno hominum, et cuicumque voluerit, det illud. 30 Eadem hora sermo completus est super Nabuehodonosor, et ex hominibus abjectus est, et feenum ut bos comedit, et rore cceli corpus ejus infectum est: do-nec capilli ejus in similitudinem aqui; larum crescerent, et ungues ejus quasi avium. 31 Igitur post finem dierum egoNa-buchodonosor oculos meos ad ccelum levavi, et sensus meus redditus est mihi: et Altissimo benedixi, et viventen! in sempiternum laudavi, et glorificavi : quia potestas ejus potestas sempiterna, et regnum ejus in generationem et gene-rationem. 32 Et omnes habitatores terrae apud eum in nihilum reputati sunt : juxta voluntatem enim suara facit tam in vir-tutibus cceli quàm in habitatoribus terras : et non est qui resistat manui ejus, et dicat ei : Quare fecisti? 33 In ipso tempore sensus meus rever- sus est ad me, et ad honorem regni mei, decoremque perveni: et figura mea reversa est ad me : et optimates mei, et magistratus mei requisieruut me, et in regno meo restitutus sum : et magnifi-centia amplior addita est mihi. 34 Nunc igitur ego Nabuehodonosor laudo, et magnifico, et glorifico regem cceli: quia omnia opera ejus vera, et viae ejus judicia, et gradientes in superbia potest humiliare. CAP. V. Baltassar rex fecit grande convi- vium optimatibus suis mille: et uuus-quisque secundum suam bibebat aeta-tem. 2 Prascepit ergo jam temulentus ut afferrentur vasa aurea et argéntea, quas asportaverat Nabuchodouosor pater ejus de templo, quod fuit in Jerusalem, ut biberent in eis rex, et optimates ejus, uxoresque ejus, et concubinas. 3 Tunc allata sunt vasa aurea, et argéntea, quae asportaverat de templo, quod fuerat in Jerusalem: et biberunt in eis rex, et optimates ejus, uxores et concubinas illius. 4 Bibebaut vinum, et laudabant deos suos áureos, et argénteos, asreos, ferreos, ligneosque et lapídeos. 5 In eadem bora apparuerunt digit¡, quasi manus hominis scribentis contra candelabrum in superficie parietis aulas regias : et rex aspiciebat articulos manus scribentis. 6 Tunc facies regis commutata est, et cogitationes ejus conturbabant eum : et compages reuum ejus solvebantur, et genua ejus ad se invicem collidebantur. 7 Exclamavit itaque rex fortiter ut introducerent magos, Chaldasos, et aru- 550 IA, V. t)]v 7pu$»/v TaÚTfjv, Kat r)¡v o7׳1־Kpto־tv 7vt״pt-di ¡J.ot, 7rop01׳pav éi/óúcreTat, Ka: o yuartaKrjv o Xpuaôvç “ fc'7rt Tov Tpáxq-^-Ov uiiTOv, nat rpnos èv tr¡ ßaaiXciqL !Jiov vLpÇei. . . _ 8 Kat elaeiroptvovTO iritvreç ot trcnpoi tou fiaa-1\étùç, ku'i ov< nòvvavro 7>]v youtp/]0 Liva~ 71׳â>1׳at, où$è T׳r!v ovyicpcaiv -¡¡vtopiaai T
