“ Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue— an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance.

“ King Nebuchadnezzar, you looked up and saw a large statue standing in front of you. It was huge. It shone brightly. And it terrified you.

“ You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

“ In your vision, Your Majesty, you saw standing before you a huge, shining statue of a man. It was a frightening sight.

“ Your Majesty, as you were watching, suddenly a colossal statue appeared. That statue, tall and dazzling, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was terrifying.

“ You, O king, were watching and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary radiance, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.

“ You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.

Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible.

他們威武可畏而可懼怕，判斷與破毁任由自己作出。

我必因其壞透而察罰世界，因其罪孽而刑罰惡人；我必使傲慢人的狂傲止息，使強橫人的驕傲卑抑下來。

魔鬼又帶耶穌上了一座極高的山，將世界萬國與其榮華都指給他看，

故此強有力的民族必榮耀你；強橫可怖之國的都市必敬畏你。因為你作了貧寒人的保障，窮苦人急難中的保障，可躲暴風雨的避難處，可避炎熱的陰涼地：因為強橫人噓的氣、好像冬天的暴風雨，好像炎熱在乾透了之地上，炎熱由密雲的陰影而減輕；傲慢人的喧鬧你抑制住了；強橫人的誇勝曲你使它低落了。

有四隻大獸從海中上來，彼此各不相同。頭一隻像獅子，有鷹的翅膀。我直觀看，看見牠的翅膀被拔去，牠從地上被扶起，須用兩腳站立、像人一樣；又有人的心給了牠。另有一隻獸、是第二隻，好像熊。牠身體的一邊挺起着；口中啣着三根肋骨在牙齒間；有吩咐這獸的話這樣說：「起來吞喫許多的肉。」此後我觀看，就看見另有一隻獸像豹，背上有鳥翅膀四個；這獸有四個頭；又有權柄給了牠。此後我夜間異象中在觀看着，看見第四隻獸可怕可懼，非常強壯；牠有大鐵牙，吞喫嚼碎；剩下的用腳去踹。這獸跟以前所有的獸大不相同；牠有十個角。我正在觀賞這些角，忽見它們之間又長起另一個角來，是小小的；先前的角之中有三個在這小角之前連根都被拔出來；看哪，這角有眼像人的眼，有口說着誇大的話呢。我正在觀看，就看見有些寶座設立着，有一位壽高年邁者就席坐着；他的衣服皎白如雪，他的頭髮如純淨的羊毛；他的寶座乃是火燄；其輪子是燒着的烈火。有火河發出，從寶座前面流出來；伺候他的有千千，侍立在他面前的有萬萬；審判者坐着要開庭，案卷都展開着。那時、因那小角說着誇大之話的聲音，我就觀看，看見那獸被殺，牠的身體被毁壞，交給火燒。其餘的獸、牠們的權柄都被奪去，牠們的壽命卻仍延長、到所定的時候及時期。我夜間異象中在觀看着，見有一位像人的駕着天雲而來，到那壽高年邁者那裏，被引晉到他面前。受得了權柄、尊榮和國度，使各族之民、列國之民、各種方言的人都事奉他；他的權柄是永遠的權柄，不能過去，他的國度是個永不被滅的。我但以理呢、我的靈在它的鞘子裏愁苦；我腦中所見的異象使我驚惶。我走近侍立者之中的一位，問他這一切事實在是甚麼；他就告訴我，將其解析講明、給我知道：「這四隻大獸、就是四個王、必從地上起來。

那麼你就看吧，我必導引外族人、列國中的強橫人、來攻擊你；他們拔刀來砍壞你用智慧得來的美麗，污辱你的光華。

魔鬼就領他上高地方，霎時間把天下萬國都指給他看。
