The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 335 Daniel
-- 5{1} Belshazzar
the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before
the thousand. {2} Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded
to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken
out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his
wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. {3} Then they brought
the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which
was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines,
drank in them. {4} They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and
of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. {5} In the same
hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick
upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part
of the hand that wrote. {6} Then the king's countenance was changed,
and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and
his knees smote one against another. {7} The king cried aloud to bring
in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and
said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me
the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of
gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. {8}
Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor
make known to the king the interpretation thereof. {9} Then was king
Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords
were astonied. {10} Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king
and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king,
live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
{11} There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods;
and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom
of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king,
I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
{12} Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding,
interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts,
were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel
be called, and he will shew the interpretation. {13} Then was Daniel
brought in before the king. 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 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 make 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 Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and
give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing 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 down. {20}
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed
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 appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
{22} And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though
thou knewest all this; {23} But hast lifted up thyself against the
LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and
thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and
thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone,
which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and
whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: {24} Then was the
part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. {25}
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. {26}
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom,
and finished it. {27} TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and
art found wanting. {28} PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to
the Medes and Persians. {29} Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed
Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation
concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. {30}
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. {31}
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Daniel -- 6{1}
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which
should be over the whole kingdom; {2} And over these three presidents;
of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and
the king should have no damage. {3} Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and
the king thought to set him over the whole realm. {4} Then the presidents
and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but
they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither
was there any error or fault found in him. {5} Then said these men,
We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against
him concerning the law of his God. {6} Then these presidents and princes
assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for
ever. {7} All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the
princes, the counsellers, and the captains, have consulted together to establish
a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition
of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into
the den of lions. {8} Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the
writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians,
which altereth not. {9} Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and
the decree. {10} Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed,
he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem,
he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before
his God, as he did aforetime. {11} Then these men assembled, and found
Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. {12} Then they
came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not
signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within
thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king
answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians,
which altereth not. {13} Then answered they and said before the king,
That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not
thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three
times a day. {14} Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore
displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured
till the going down of the sun to deliver him. {15} Then these men
assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of
the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth
may be changed. {16} Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel,
and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy
God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. {17} And a
stone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with
his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be
changed concerning Daniel. {18} Then the king went to his palace, and
passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him:
and his sleep went from him. {19} Then the king arose very early in
the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. {20} And when
he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king
spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom
thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? {21}
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. {22} My God
hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt
me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O
king, have I done no hurt. {23} Then was the king exceeding glad for
him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was
taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he
believed in his God. {24} And the king commanded, and they brought
those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions,
them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them,
and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
{25} Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. {26} I make a
decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God
of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that
which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
{27} He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven
and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. {28}
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the
Persian. First
John -- 4{1} Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because
many false prophets are gone out into the world. {2} Hereby know ye
the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God: {3} And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
{4} Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater
is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. {5} They are of
the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
{6} We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
{7} Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. {8} He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love. {9} In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him. {10} Herein is love, not that we loved
God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
{11} Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
{12} No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth
in us, and his love is perfected in us. {13} Hereby know we that we
dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. {14}
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour
of the world. {15} Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of
God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. {16} And we have known and
believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him. {17} Herein is our love made perfect,
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we
in this world. {18} There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth
out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
{19} We love him, because he first loved us. {20} If a man say,
I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? {21}
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother
also. |  |
