Daniel 4:3
1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.
2 I am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.
How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and flourishing in my palace.
5 I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.
