1. During the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, he had some dreams. He was troubled, but he stayed asleep.
2. The king sent for the magicians, psychics, sorcerers, and astrologers so that they could tell him what he had dreamed. So they came to the king.
3. The king said to them, “I had a dream, and I’m troubled by it. I want to know what the dream was.”
4. The astrologers spoke to the king in Aramaic, “Your Majesty, may you live forever! Tell us the dream, and we’ll interpret it for you.”
