Daniel 2:20-28

20DanielH1841 saidH560, “May the nameH8036 of GodH426 be 1blessedH1289 foreverH5957 and everH5957, For 2wisdomH2452 and powerH1370 belong to Him.21It is He who 3changesH8133 the timesH5732 and the periodsH2166; He 4removesH5709 kingsH4430 and appointsH6966 kingsH4430; He givesH3052 5wisdomH2452 to wiseH2445 menH2445, And knowledgeH4486 to 6people of understandingH999.22It is He who 7revealsH1541 the profoundH5994 and hiddenH5642 thingsH5642; 8He knowsH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, And the 9lightH5094 dwellsH8271 with Him.23To You, 10GodH426 of my fathersH2, I giveH3029 thanksH3029 and praiseH7624, For You have givenH3052 me 11wisdomH2452 and powerH1370; Even nowH3705 You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to me whatH1768 we 12requestedH1156 of You, For You have madeH3046 knownH3046 to us the king’sH4430 matterH4406.”

24ThereuponH6903H1836, DanielH1841 wentH5954 to AriochH746, whomH1768 the kingH4430 had appointedH4483 to killH7 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895; he wentH236 and saidH560 thisH3652 to him: “13Do not killH7 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895! TakeH5954 me 14into the king’sH4430 presenceH6925, and I will declareH2331 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430.”

25ThenH116 AriochH746 hurriedlyH927 15broughtH5954 DanielH1841 16into the king’sH4430 presenceH6925 and spokeH560 to him asH3652 followsH3652: “I have foundH7912 a manH1400 amongH4481 the 1718exilesH1123H1547 from JudahH3061 whoH1768 can makeH3046 the interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to the kingH4430!” 26The kingH4430 saidH560 to DanielH1841, whoseH1768 nameH8036 was 19BelteshazzarH1096, “Are you ableH3546 to makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the dreamH2493 whichH1768 I have seenH2370 and its interpretationH6591?” 27DanielH1841 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 and saidH560, “As for the secretH7328 about whichH1768 the kingH4430 has inquiredH7593, neitherH3809 20wiseH2445 menH2445, sorcerersH826, soothsayerH2749 priestsH2749, nor divinersH1505 are ableH3202 to declareH2331 it to the kingH4430. 28HoweverH1297, thereH383 isH383 a 21GodH426 in heavenH8065 whoH1768 revealsH1541 secretsH7328, and He has madeH3046 knownH3046 to KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 will takeH1934 placeH1934 in the 2223latterH320 daysH3118. ThisH1836 was your dreamH2493 and the 24visionsH2376 25in your mindH7217 while on your bedH4903.
