Daniel 2:2

The King's Troubling Dream

¹ Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. ² So the king said to call the magicians and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the {astrologers} to tell to the king his dreams. And they came in and they stood {before} the king. ³ And the king said to them, "{I have had a dream} and my spirit is anxious to know the dream."
