Daniel 4:6 in context

The verses around it, from Daniel 4.

2 I am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.

3 How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation.

4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and flourishing in my palace.

5 I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.

6 So I issued a decree that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me.

7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners came in, I told them the dream, and they could not interpret it for me.

8 But at last, into my presence came Daniel (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods). And I told him the dream:

9 “O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery baffles you. So explain to me the visions I saw in my dream, and their interpretation.

10 In these visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this come to pass: There was a tree in the midst of the land, and its height was great.
