we Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and {we} will show the interpretation. we They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and {we} will show the interpretation of it. we I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what {we} desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter. we This [is] the dream; and {we} will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. we Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, {we} [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter. we 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. we 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. we Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, [and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not {we} cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. we 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. we 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. we {We} have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: we Neither have {we} hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. we O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because {we} have sinned against thee. we To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses, though {we} have rebelled against him; we Neither have {we} obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. we Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because {we} have sinned against him. we As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that {we} might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. we As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made {we} not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. we Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which he doeth: for {we} obeyed not his voice. we And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; {we} have sinned, we have done wickedly. we And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, {we} have done wickedly. we O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for {we} do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. we And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and {we} shall reign on the earth. we Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till {we} have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. we Saying, {We} give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. ~~~~~~
