Daniel 2:12-18

12For this cause the kingH4430 was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroyH7 all the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895. 13So the decreeH1882 went forth, and the wiseH2445 men were to be slain; and they sought DanielH1841 and his companions to be slain.

14ThenH116 DanielH1841 returnedH8421 answer with counsel and prudence to AriochH746 the captain of the king’sH4430 guard, who was gone forth to slay the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895; 15he answered and saidH560 to AriochH746 the king’sH4430 captain, Wherefore is the decreeH1882 so urgent from the kingH4430? ThenH116 AriochH746 madeH3046 the thing knownH3046 to DanielH1841. 16And DanielH1841 went in, and desired of the kingH4430 that he would appoint him a timeH2166, and he would show the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

17ThenH116 DanielH1841 went to his houseH1005, and madeH3046 the thing knownH3046 to HananiahH2608, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18that they would desire mercies of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 concerningH5922 this secret; that DanielH1841 and his companions should not perish with the restH7606 of the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
