Daniel 2:18-30

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.

19Then was the secret revealedH1541 unto DanielH1841 in a visionH2376 of the nightH3916. Then DanielH1841 blessedH1289 the GodH426 of heavenH8065.

20DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560, BlessedH1289 be the nameH8036 of GodH426 for everH5957 and everH5957: for wisdomH2452 and might are his:

21And he changeth the timesH2166 and the seasons: he removeth kingsH4430, and setteth up kingsH4430: he giveth wisdomH2452 unto the wiseH2445, and knowledgeH4486 to them that knowH3046 understandingH999:

22he revealeth the deepH5994 and secret things: he knoweth whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, and the light dwelleth with him.

23I thank thee, and praiseH7624 thee, O thou GodH426 of my fathersH2, who hast givenH3052 meH3052 wisdomH2452 and might, and hast nowH3705 madeH3046 knownH3046 unto meH3052 whatH1768 weH1768 desired of thee: for thou hast madeH3046 knownH3046 unto us the king’sH4430 matterH4406.

24Therefore DanielH1841 wentH236 in unto AriochH746, whomH1768 the kingH4430 had appointedH4483 to destroyH7 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895: he wentH236 and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him; DestroyH7 not the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895: bringH5954 meH6925 in beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and I will shew unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

25Then AriochH746 broughtH5954 in DanielH1841 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 in hasteH927, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him, I have foundH7912 a manH1400 of the childrenH1123 of the captivity of JudahH3061, that will makeH3046 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

26The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, whoseH1768 nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, Art thou ableH3546 to makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 whichH1768 I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof?

27DanielH1841 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secret whichH1768 the kingH4430 hath demandedH560 canH1768 neitherH3809 wiseH2445 menH2445, enchanters, magiciansH2749, norH3809 soothsayers, shew unto the kingH4430;

28but there is a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealeth secrets, and he hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall be in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 upon thy bedH4903, are theseH1836:

29as for thee, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 came into thy mind upon thy bedH4903, whatH4101 should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to thee whatH4101 shall come to pass.

30But as for me, this secret is notH3809 revealedH1541 to me for anyH3606 wisdomH2452 that I have moreH4481 thanH4481 anyH3606 livingH2417, but to the intent that the interpretationH6591 may be madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that thou mayest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825.
