On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Here is a strange medley in Nebuchadnezzar, but such as is commonly found in those that side with their corruptions against their convictions. He retains the language and dialect of his idolatry, and therefore, it is to be feared, is no convert to the faith and worship of the living God.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He looked upon him as one that had such an insight, such a foresight, as none of his magicians had: I know that no secret troubles thee. Note, The spirit of prophecy quite outdoes the spirit of divination, even the enemies themselves being judges; for so it was adjudged here, upon a fair trial of skill.
