Daniel 2:16-23

16And Daniel went in and requested the king to appoint him a time, that he might show the interpretation to the king.

17Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

18and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

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

20Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might.

21He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

22he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

23To you, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for you have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king's matter."
