⁴ Εγω ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ ημην αναπαυομενος εν τω οικω μου και ακμαζων εν τω παλατιω μου.

¹¹ Υπαρχει ανθρωπος εν τω βασιλειω σου, εις τον οποιον ειναι το πνευμα των αγιων θεων· και εν ταις ημεραις του πατρος σου φως και συνεσις και σοφια, ως η σοφια των θεων, ευρεθησαν εν αυτω, τον οποιον ο βασιλευς Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο πατηρ σου, ο βασιλευς ο πατηρ σου, κατεστησεν αρχοντα των μαγων, των επαοιδων, των Χαλδαιων και των μαντεων.

⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on 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 to me the interpretation of the dream.

⁷ Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
