In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was among the exiles by the Chebar Canal, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

I looked, and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a huge cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.

When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures.

Their four rims were tall and awe-inspiring, completely covered with eyes.

From what seemed to be his waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be his waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around him.

So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.

with the[fn] sound of the living creatures' wings brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound.

So I got up and went out to the plain. The LORD's glory was present there, like the glory I had seen by the Chebar Canal, and I fell facedown.

I looked, and there was someone who looked like a man.[fn] From what seemed to be his waist down was fire, and from his waist up was something that looked bright, like the gleam of amber.

I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, like the vision I had seen in the plain.

I went in and looked, and there engraved all around the wall was every kind of abhorrent thing ​— ​crawling creatures and beasts ​— ​as well as all the idols of the house of Israel.

Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli.

The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.

The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.

These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Chebar Canal, and I recognized that they were cherubim.

Their faces looked like the same faces I had seen by the Chebar Canal. Each creature went straight ahead.

The Spirit then lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD's house, which faces east, and at the gate's entrance were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

As I looked, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when he[fn] came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown.

Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked, and the glory of the LORD filled his temple. And I fell facedown.

I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.

“Belteshazzar, head of the magicians, because I know that you have the spirit of the holy gods and that no mystery puzzles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I saw, and its interpretation.

“This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can make the interpretation known to me. But you can, because you have a spirit of the holy gods.”

I saw the vision, and as I watched, I was in the fortress city of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.

He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with savage fury.

while I was praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the first vision, reached me in my extreme weariness, about the time of the evening offering.

I looked up, and there was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of gold from Uphaz[fn] around his waist.

Only I, Daniel, saw the vision. The men who were with me did not see it, but a great terror fell on them, and they ran and hid.

Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other.

consecrated themselves to Shame,[fn]

and became abhorrent,

like the thing they loved.

I have seen Ephraim like Tyre,

planted in a meadow,

so Ephraim will bring out his children

to the executioner.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said:

Strike the capitals of the pillars

so that the thresholds shake;

knock them down on the heads of all the people.

Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.

None of those who flee will get away;

none of the fugitives will escape.

the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

All Israel heard about the judgment the king had given, and they stood in awe of the king because they saw that God's wisdom was in him to carry out justice.

When all Israel saw that the king had not listened to them, the people answered him:

Or why was I not hidden like a miscarried child,

like infants who never see daylight?

I have been young and now I am old,

yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned

or his children begging for bread.

I have seen a wicked, violent person

well-rooted,[fn] like a flourishing native tree.

Like a slug that moves along in slime,

like a woman's miscarried child,

may they not see the sun.

but your command is without limit.

for it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here! ”

than to demote you in plain view of a noble.[fn]

Sand partridges[fn] will make their nests there;

each with its mate.

for they have seen her nakedness.

She herself groans and turns away.

Zion's gates have fallen to the ground;

he has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.

Her king and her leaders live among the nations,

instruction[fn] is no more,

and even her prophets receive

no vision from the LORD.

“When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, they offered their sacrifices and presented their offensive offerings there. They also sent up their pleasing aromas and poured out their drink offerings there.

The king said in reply to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to tell me the dream I had and its interpretation? ”

Only I, Daniel, saw the vision. The men who were with me did not see it, but a great terror fell on them, and they ran and hid.

Then I looked up and saw four horns.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.
