The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 334 Daniel
-- 3{1} Nebuchadnezzar
the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth
thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
{2} Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. {3} Then the princes,
the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the
dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood
before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. {4} Then an herald
cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, {5}
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,
dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: {6} And whoso falleth not down
and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery
furnace. {7} Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick,
all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden
image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. {8} Wherefore at that
time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. {9} They spake
and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. {10} Thou,
O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall
down and worship the golden image: {11} And whoso falleth not down
and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
{12} There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the
province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have
not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which
thou hast set up. {13} Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded
to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before
the king. {14} Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true,
O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden
image which I have set up? {15} Now if ye be ready that at what time
ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer,
and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made;
well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of
a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my
hands? {16} Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to
the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
{17} If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the
burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. {18}
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor
worship the golden image which thou hast set up. {19} Then was Nebuchadnezzar
full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace
one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. {20} And he commanded
the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. {21} Then these men
were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments,
and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. {22} Therefore
because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the
flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
{23} And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound
into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. {24} Then Nebuchadnezzar
the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers,
Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and
said unto the king, True, O king. {25} He answered and said, Lo, I
see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and
the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. {26} Then Nebuchadnezzar
came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come
hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the
fire. {27} And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's
counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire
had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed,
nor the smell of fire had passed on them. {28} Then Nebuchadnezzar
spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath
sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed
the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship
any god, except their own God. {29} Therefore I make a decree, That
every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God
of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses
shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after
this sort. {30} Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
in the province of Babylon. Daniel
-- 4{1} Nebuchadnezzar
the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth;
Peace be multiplied unto you. {2} I thought it good to shew the signs
and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. {3} How great
are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and his dominion is from generation to generation. {4} I Nebuchadnezzar
was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: {5} I saw
a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of
my head troubled me. {6} Therefore made I a decree to bring in all
the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation
of the dream. {7} Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did
not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. {8} But at the last
Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of
my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the
dream, saying, {9} O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because
I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee,
tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
{10} Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a
tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. {11}
The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and
the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: {12} The leaves thereof
were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts
of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs
thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. {13} I saw in the visions of
my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
{14} He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his
branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away
from under it, and the fowls from his branches: {15} Nevertheless leave
the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the
tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his
portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: {16} Let his
heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let
seven times pass over him. {17} This matter is by the decree of the
watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the
living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it
to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. {18}
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare
the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not
able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit
of the holy gods is in thee. {19} Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,
was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and
said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble
thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate
thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. {20} The tree
that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven,
and the sight thereof to all the earth; {21} Whose leaves were fair,
and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts
of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their
habitation: {22} It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong:
for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the
end of the earth. {23} And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy
one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet
leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and
brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven,
and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over
him; {24} This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree
of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: {25} That they
shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field,
and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the
dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most
High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. {26}
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall
be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
{27} Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break
off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor;
if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. {28} All this came
upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. {29} At the end of twelve months he walked
in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. {30} The king spake, and said,
Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the
might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? {31} While the
word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar,
to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. {32} And they
shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field:
they shall make thee to eat grass 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 he 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 liveth
for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is 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 counsellers
and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent
majesty was added unto me. {37} Now I 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. First
John -- 3{1} Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
{2} Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for
we shall see him as he is. {3} And every man that hath this hope in
him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. {4} Whosoever committeth
sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. {5}
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
{6} Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen
him, neither known him. {7} Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. {8}
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil. {9} Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for
his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. {10}
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever
doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
{11} For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another. {12} Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,
and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous. {13} Marvel not, my brethren, if the world
hate you. {14} We know that we have passed from death unto life, because
we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. {15}
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him. {16} Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. {17} But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother
have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the
love of God in him? {18} My little children, let us not love in word,
neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. {19} And hereby we know
that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. {20}
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
{21} Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward
God. {22} And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. {23}
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus
Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. {24} And he
that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
