Daniel 4:34

4:34 But at the end of the appointed time ¹  I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up ²  toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me.

I extolled the Most High,

and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.

For his authority is an everlasting authority,

and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.

Daniel 6:26

6:26 I have issued an edict that throughout all the dominion of my kingdom people are to revere and fear the God of Daniel.

“For he is the living God;

he endures forever.

His kingdom will not be destroyed;

his authority is forever. ³ 

Daniel 7:14

7:14 To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty.

All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving ⁴  him.

His authority is eternal and will not pass away. ⁵ 

His kingdom will not be destroyed. ⁶ 

Daniel 7:27

7:27 Then the kingdom, authority,

and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven

will be delivered to the people of the holy ones ⁷  of the Most High.

His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;

all authorities will serve him and obey him.’

[4:34]  ¹ tn Aram “days.”

[4:34]  ² tn Aram “lifted up my eyes.”

[6:26]  ³ tn Aram “until the end.”

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Some take “serving” here in the sense of “worshiping.”

[7:14]  ⁵ tn Aram “is an eternal authority which will not pass away.”

[7:14]  ⁶ tn Aram “is one which will not be destroyed.”

[7:27]  ⁷ tn If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” See 8:24 for the corresponding Hebrew phrase and the note there.
