Daniel 2:16-23

16So Daniel went in and asked the king to appoint a date and give him time, so that he might reveal to the king the interpretation of the dream.

17Then Daniel returned to his house and discussed the matter with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

18in order that they might seek compassion from the God of heaven regarding this secret, so that Daniel and his companions would not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night, and Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

20Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.

21It is He who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise And [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding!

22It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.

23I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us [the solution to] the king’s matter.”
