Daniel 4:8 In-Context

6 Ordené entonces que vinieran a mi presencia todos los sabios de Babilonia para que me interpretaran el sueño.

7 Cuando llegaron los magos, hechiceros, astrólogos y adivinos, les conté mi sueño pero no me lo pudieron interpretar.

10 Y esta es la tremenda visión que tuve mientras reposaba en mi lecho: Veía ante mí un árbol de altura impresionante, plantado en medio de la tierra.
