Daniel 2:12-18

12For this cause the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895.

13So the decreeH1882 wentH5312 forthH5312, and the wiseH2445 menH2445 were to be slainH6992; and they sought DanielH1841 and his companions to be slainH6992.

14Then DanielH1841 returnedH8421 answer with counselH2942 and prudence to AriochH746 the captainH7229 of the king’sH4430 guard, whichH1768 was goneH5312 forthH5312 to slayH6992 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895;

15he answeredH6032 and saidH560 to AriochH746 the king’sH4430 captain, Wherefore is the decreeH1882 soH116 urgentH2685 from the kingH4430? Then AriochH746 madeH3046 the thingH1882 knownH3046 to DanielH1841.

16And DanielH1841 wentH5954 in, and desired of the kingH4430 that he would appoint him a time, and he would shew the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

17Then DanielH1841 wentH236 to his houseH1005, and madeH3046 the thingH4406 knownH3046 to HananiahH2608, MishaelH4333, and AzariahH5839, his companions:

18that they would desire mercies of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 concerning this secret; that DanielH1841 and his companions should notH3809 perishH7 with the restH7606 of the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895.
