Daniel 2:25-29

25Then Arioch hurriedly 1brought Daniel 2into the king’s presence and spoke to him as follows: “I have found a man among the 3 4exiles from Judah who can make the interpretation known to the king!”

26The king said to Daniel, whose name was 5Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?”

27Daniel answered before the king and said, “As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither 6wise men, conjurers, 7magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.

28However, there is a 8God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the 9 10latter days. This was your dream and the 11visions 12in your mind while on your bed.

29As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts 13turned to what would take place 14in the future; and 15He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place.
