24 "This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree the Most High has issued against my lord the king:
24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
24 this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king,
24 - this, O king, also refers to you. It means that the High God has sentenced my master the king:
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
24 "'This is what the dream means, Your Majesty, and what the Most High has declared will happen to my lord the king.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Daniel 4:24
Commentary on Daniel 4:19-27
(Read Daniel 4:19-27)
Daniel was struck with amazement and terror at so heavy a judgment coming upon so great a prince, and gives advice with tenderness and respect. It is necessary, in repentance, that we not only cease to do evil, but learn to do good. Though it might not wholly prevent the judgment, yet the trouble may be longer before it comes, or shorter when it does come. And everlasting misery will be escaped by all who repent and turn to God.
