This [01836] dream [02493] I [0576] king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] have seen [02370].

9 O Belteshazzar [01096], master [07229] of the magicians [02749], because I [0576] know [03046] that the spirit [07308] of the holy [06922] gods [0426] is in thee, and no [03606] [03809] secret [07328] troubleth [0598] thee, tell [0560] me the visions [02376] of my dream [02493] that I have seen [02370], and the interpretation [06591] thereof.
