Daniel 4:5

5 Tuve un sueño que me hizo temblar; y estas fantasías, estando en mi cama, y las visiones de mi mente me aterraron.

Daniel 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:5

I saw a dream which made me afraid
Things were represented to his fancy in a dream, as if he saw them with his eyes, as the tree, its leaves and fruit; the shaking and cutting it down to the stump; and though he did not understand the meaning of it, yet he thought it portended some evil, which threw him into a panic; he was afraid that something bad would befall him, though he knew not what: thus God can make the minds of the greatest men uneasy amidst all their glory, pride, and pleasure: and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me;
the thoughts that came into his mind while he was upon his bed dreaming, and the things which were represented to his fancy in his brain, he remembered when awake, gave him a great deal of trouble and uneasiness, what should be the meaning of them, and what would be the issue and event of these things.

Daniel 4:5 In-Context

3 ¡Cuán grandes son sus señales, y cuán poderosas sus maravillas! Su reino es un reino eterno, y su dominio de generación en generación.

4 Yo, Nabucodonosor, estaba tranquilo en mi casa y próspero en mi palacio.

5 Tuve un sueño que me hizo temblar; y estas fantasías, estando en mi cama, y las visiones de mi mente me aterraron.

6 Por lo cual di órdenes que trajeran ante mí a todos los sabios de Babilonia para que me dieran a conocer la interpretación del sueño.

7 Entonces vinieron los magos, los encantadores, los caldeos y los adivinos y les conté el sueño; pero no pudieron darme su interpretación.
