"Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquility."DANIEL'S GOOD COUNSEL TO THE KINGThe thought here is not that the king's changing from his sins might avert the experience that had been decreed for him, but that the onset of it might be delayed, referred to here as, "a lengthening of thy tranquility."Of course, "If righteousness is merely... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 4:28
"All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon. The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee; and thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 4:29
Daniel 4:29. At the end of twelve months— God deferred the execution of his threats against this impious prince; he gave him a whole year to repent and return to him; but, seeing that he persevered in his crimes, the measure of his iniquities being full, he put his menaces in execution. See Calmet. He walked in the palace— As he was walking upon the palace. It is well known, that the roofs of the buildings in the East were flat or plain, over which the inhabitants used to walk for pleasure.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 4:30
Daniel 4:30. Is not this great Babylon that I have built— The circuit of this city is said to have been 360 stadia at least, or more than 45 miles, and Pliny extends it to 60 miles. Herodotus describes it as a square, each side of which was 120 stadia, or 480 in circumference: the height of its walls was 50 cubits according to the lowest reckoning, and the breadth of them such that six chariots a-breast, according to Diodorus, might drive along them. It was beautifully situated on the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 4:27
27. break off—as a galling yoke (Genesis 27:40); sin is a heavy load (Matthew 11:28). The Septuagint and Vulgate translate not so well, "redeem," which is made an argument for Rome's doctrine of the expiation of sins by meritorious works. Even translate it so, it can only mean; Repent and show the reality of thy repentance by works of justice and charity (compare Luke 11:41); so God will remit thy punishment. The trouble will be longer before it comes, or shorter when it does come. Compare the... read more

29. twelve months—This respite was granted to him to leave him without excuse. So the hundred twenty years granted before the flood ( :-). At the first announcement of the coming judgment he was alarmed, as Ahab (1 Kings 21:27), but did not thoroughly repent; so when judgment was not executed at once, he thought it would never come, and so returned to his former pride (Ecclesiastes 8:11). in the palace—rather, upon the (flat) palace roof, whence he could contemplate the splendor of Babylon. So... read more
