Daniel 2:18-30
18that they would desire mercies of the 1GodH426 of the heavensH8065 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 nightH3916 visionH2376. ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessed the 2GodH426 of the heavensH8065.
20DanielH1841 answered and saidH560, Blessed be the nameH8036 of 3GodH426 for everH5957 and everH5957; For wisdomH2452 and might are his.
21And it is he that changeth timesH2166 and seasons; He deposeth kingsH4430, and setteth up kingsH4430; He giveth wisdomH2452 to the wiseH2445, And knowledge to them that knowH3046 understanding.
22It is he that revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23I thank thee, and I praise thee, O 4GodH426 of my fathersH2, Who hast given me wisdomH2452 and might, And hast madeH3046 knownH3046 unto me already what we desired of thee; For thou hast madeH3046 knownH3046 unto us the king's 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 shew 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 sons of the captivity of JudahH3061 that will makeH3046 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.
26The kingH4430 answered and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, Art thou ableH3546 to makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 that I have seenH2370, and its interpretationH6591?
27DanielH1841 answered in the presence of the kingH4430 and saidH560, The secret that the kingH4430 hath demanded cannot the wiseH2445 men, the magiciansH2749, the scribes, the astrologers, shew unto the kingH4430;
28but there is a 5GodH426 in the heavensH8065, who revealeth secrets, and maketh knownH3046 to kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 what shall be at the end of daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 upon thy bedH4903 are these:
29— as for thee, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 arose upon thy bedH4903, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to thee what shall come to pass.
30And as for me, this secret is revealedH1541 to me, not by [any] wisdomH2452 that I have moreH4481 than any living, but to the intent that the interpretationH6591 should be madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that thou mightest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825.
