Daniel 4:29-31

4:29 After twelve months, he happened to be walking around on the battlements ¹  of the royal palace of Babylon. 4:30 The king uttered these words: “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence ²  by my own mighty strength ³  and for my majestic honor?” 4:31 While these words were still on the king’s lips, ⁴  a voice came down from heaven: “It is hereby announced to you, ⁵  King Nebuchadnezzar, that your kingdom has been removed from you!

[4:29]  ¹ tn The word “battlements” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied from context. Many English versions supply “roof” here (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); cf. NLT “on the flat roof.”

[4:30]  ² tn Aram “house.”

[4:30]  ³ tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

[4:31]  ⁴ tn Aram “in the mouth of the king.”

[4:31]  ⁵ tn Aram “to you they say.”
