Daniel 2:20-28

20DanielH1841 answered and saidH560, Blessed be the nameH8036 of 1GodH426 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 2GodH426 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 3GodH426 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:
