Daniel 2:16-23
16So DanielH1841 wentH5954 in and requestedH1156 of the kingH4430 that he would 1giveH5415 him timeH2166, in order that he might declareH2331 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430.
17ThenH116 DanielH1841 wentH236 to his houseH1005 and informedH3046 his friendsH2269, 2HananiahH2608, MishaelH4331 and AzariahH5839, about the matterH4406, 18so that they might 3requestH1156 compassionH7359 from the GodH426 of heavenH8065 concerningH5922 thisH1836 mysteryH7328, soH1768 that DanielH1841 and his friendsH2269 would not be 4destroyedH7 with the restH7606 of the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895. 19ThenH116 the mysteryH7328 was revealedH1541 to DanielH1841 in a nightH3916 5visionH2376. ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessedH1289 the GodH426 of heavenH8065; 20DanielH1841 saidH560, “Let the nameH8036 of GodH426 be 6blessedH1289 foreverH5957 and everH5957, For 7wisdomH2452 and powerH1370 belong to Him.21It is He who 8changesH8133 the timesH5732 and the epochsH2166; He 9removesH5709 kingsH4430 and 10establishesH6966 kingsH4430; He givesH3052 11wisdomH2452 to wiseH2445 menH2445 And knowledgeH4486 to 12men of understandingH999.22It is He who 13revealsH1541 the profoundH5994 and hiddenH5642 thingsH5642; 14He knowsH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, And the 15lightH5094 dwellsH8271 with Him.23To You, O 16GodH426 of my fathersH2, I giveH3029 thanksH3029 and praiseH7624, For You have givenH3052 me 17wisdomH2452 and powerH1370; Even nowH3705 You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to me whatH1768 we 18requestedH1156 of You, For You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to us the king’sH4430 matterH4406.”
