Daniel and his friends refuse the food and wine provided by the king of Babylon to avoid becoming defiled. They receive wisdom from God and surpass "all the magicians and enchanters of the kingdom." Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a giant statue made of four metals with feet of mingled iron and clay, smashed by a stone from heaven. Only Daniel is able to interpret it: the dream signifies four kingdoms, of which Babylon is the first, but God will destroy them and replace them with his own kingdom. </p><p>Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great tree that shelters all the world and of a heavenly figure who decrees that the tree will be destroyed; again, only Daniel can interpret the dream, which concerns the sovereignty of God over the kings of the earth. When Nebuchadnezzar's son <a href="/wiki/Belshazzar" title="Belshazzar">Belshazzar</a> uses consecrated vessels from the Jewish temple as serving vessels for <a href="/wiki/Belshazzar%27s_feast" title="Belshazzar's feast">his extravagant feast</a>, a hand appears and writes a mysterious message on a wall, which only Daniel can interpret; it tells the king that his kingdom will be given to the <a href="/wiki/Medes" title="Medes">Medes</a> and Persians, because Belshazzar, unlike Nebuchadnezzar, has not acknowledged the sovereignty of the God of Daniel. The Medes and Persians overthrow Nebuchadnezzar and the new king, <a href="/wiki/Darius_the_Mede" title="Darius the Mede">Darius the Mede</a>, appoints Daniel to high authority. Jealous rivals attempt to destroy Daniel with an accusation that he worships God instead of the king, and Daniel is <a href="/wiki/Daniel_in_the_lions%27_den" title="Daniel in the lions' den">thrown into a den of lions</a>, but an angel saves him, his accusers are destroyed, and Daniel is restored to his position. </p><p>In the third year of Darius, Daniel has a series of visions. In the first, four beasts come out of the sea, the last with ten horns, and an eleventh horn grows and achieves dominion over the Earth and the "Ancient of Days" (God) gives dominion to "one like a son of man". An angel interprets the vision. In the second, a ram with two horns is attacked by a goat with one horn; the one horn breaks and is replaced by four. A little horn arises and attacks the people of God and the temple, and Daniel is informed how long the little horn's dominion will endure. In the third, Daniel is troubled to read in holy scripture (the book is not named but appears to be <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Jeremiah" title="Book of Jeremiah">Jeremiah</a>) that Jerusalem would be desolate for 70 years. Daniel repents on behalf of the Jews and requests that Jerusalem and its people be restored. An angel refers to a period of 70 <i>sevens</i> (or weeks) of years. In the final vision, Daniel sees a period of history culminating in a struggle between the "king of the north" and the "king of the south" in which God's people suffer terribly; an angel explains that in the end the righteous will be vindicated and God's kingdom will be established on Earth. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Additional_tales_(Greek_text)"><span id="Additional_tales_.28Greek_text.29"></span>Additional tales (Greek text)</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg/300px-Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="231" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg/450px-Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg/600px-Guido_Reni_-_Susannah_and_the_Elders_NG196.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="617" /></a><figcaption><i>Susanna and the Elders</i>, by <a href="/wiki/Guido_Reni" title="Guido Reni">Guido Reni</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The Greek text of Daniel contains three additional tales, two of which feature Daniel (the third is an expansion of the tale of the fiery furnace). </p> <ol><li>The tale of <a href="/wiki/Susanna_(Book_of_Daniel)" title="Susanna (Book of Daniel)">Susanna</a> tells how Daniel saves the reputation of a young Jewish married woman when two lecherous Jewish elders condemn her to death, supposedly for unchastity, but actually because she resisted their advances.
