3:98. Nabuchodonosor, the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.
Nabuchodonosor, etc… These last three verses are a kind of preface to the following chapter, which is written in the style of an epistle from the king.
3:99. The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders towards me. It hath seemed good to me, therefore, to publish
3:100. His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.
Daniel Chapter 4
Nabuchodonosor's dream, by which the judgments of God are denounced against him for his pride, is interpreted by Daniel, and verified by the event.
4:1. I, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
4:2. I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head, troubled me.
4:3. Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew me the interpretation of the dream.
4:4. Then came in the diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof.
