Daniel 4:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ “Daniel,^[a] that was the dream that none of the wise men in my kingdom were able to understand. But I am sure that you will understand what it means, because the holy gods have given you some special powers.”

¹⁹ For a while, Daniel^[b] was terribly confused and worried by what he was thinking. But I said, “Don't be bothered either by the dream or by what it means.”

Daniel replied:

Your Majesty, I wish the dream had been against your enemies. ²⁰ You saw a tree that grew so big and strong that it reached up to heaven and could be seen from anywhere on earth.
