Daniel 2:19-23

19Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night 1vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven; 20Daniel said, “Let the name of God be 2blessed forever and ever, For 3wisdom and power belong to Him.21It is He who 4changes the times and the epochs; He 5removes kings and 6establishes kings; He gives 7wisdom to wise men And knowledge to 8men of understanding.22It is He who 9reveals the profound and hidden things; 10He knows what is in the darkness, And the 11light dwells with Him.23To You, O 12God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me 13wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we 14requested of You, For You have made known to us the king’s matter.”
