Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.

Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
