Daniel 2:18-30

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. 19ThenH116 was the secret revealedH1541 unto DanielH1841 in a visionH2376 of the nightH3916. ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessed the GodH426 of heavenH8065. 20DanielH1841 answered and saidH560, Blessed be the nameH8036 of GodH426 for everH5957 and everH5957; for wisdomH2452 and might are his. 21And he changeth the timesH2166 and the seasons; he removeth kingsH4430, and setteth up kingsH4430; he giveth wisdomH2452 unto the wiseH2445, and knowledge to them that have understanding; 22he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou GodH426 of my fathersH2, who hast given me wisdomH2452 and might, and hast nowH3705 madeH3046 knownH3046 unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast madeH3046 knownH3046 unto us the king’sH4430 matterH4406. 24Therefore DanielH1841 went in unto AriochH746, whom the kingH4430 had appointedH4483 to destroyH7 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895; he went and saidH560 thus unto him: DestroyH7 not the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895; bringH5954 me in before the kingH4430, and I will show unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

25ThenH116 AriochH746 broughtH5954 in DanielH1841 before the kingH4430 in hasteH927, and saidH560 thus unto him, I have foundH7912 a manH1400 of the children of the captivity of JudahH3061, that will makeH3046 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591. 26The kingH4430 answered and saidH560 to DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, Art thou ableH3546 to makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 which I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof? 27DanielH1841 answered before the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secret which the kingH4430 hath demanded can neither wiseH2445 men, enchanters, magiciansH2749, nor soothsayers, show unto the kingH4430; 28but there is a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealeth secrets, and he hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 what shall be in the latter daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 upon thy bedH4903, are these: 29as for thee, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 came into thy mind upon thy bedH4903, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to thee what shall come to pass. 30But as for me, this secret is not revealedH1541 to me for any wisdomH2452 that I have moreH4481 than any living, but to the intent that the interpretationH6591 may be madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that thou mayest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825.
