Key Passages
To You, O God of my fathers,I give thanks and praise,because You have given mewisdom and power.And now You have made known to mewhat we have requested,for You have made known to usthe dream of the king.”
As they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
