14ThenH116 DanielH1841 repliedH8421 with discretionH5843 and discernmentH2942 to 1AriochH746, the captainH7229 of the king’sH4430 2bodyguardH2877, whoH1768 had goneH5312 forthH5312 to slayH6992 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895; 15he saidH560 to AriochH746, the king’sH4430 commanderH7990, “For whatH4101 reasonH5922H4101 is the 3decreeH1882 from the kingH4430 so 4urgentH2685?” ThenH116 AriochH746 informedH3046 DanielH1841 about the matterH4406. 16So DanielH1841 wentH5954 in and requestedH1156 of the kingH4430 that he would 5giveH5415 him timeH2166, in order that he might declareH2331 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430.

ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessedH1289 the GodH426 of heavenH8065; 20DanielH1841 saidH560, “Let the nameH8036 of GodH426 be 10blessedH1289 foreverH5957 and everH5957, For 11wisdomH2452 and powerH1370 belong to Him.21It is He who 12changesH8133 the timesH5732 and the epochsH2166; He 13removesH5709 kingsH4430 and 14establishesH6966 kingsH4430; He givesH3052 15wisdomH2452 to wiseH2445 menH2445 And knowledgeH4486 to 16men of understandingH999.22It is He who 17revealsH1541 the profoundH5994 and hiddenH5642 thingsH5642; 18He knowsH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, And the 19lightH5094 dwellsH8271 with Him.23To You, O 20GodH426 of my fathersH2, I giveH3029 thanksH3029 and praiseH7624, For You have givenH3052 me 21wisdomH2452 and powerH1370; Even nowH3705 You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to me whatH1768 we 22requestedH1156 of You, For You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to us the king’sH4430 matterH4406.”
