Daniel 2:16-23

16So Daniel went in and asked the king to grant him time, so that he might disclose the interpretation to the king.

17Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah about the matter

18so they would request mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not perish along with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven

20and answered, saying: “Blessed be the Name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

21He changes times and seasons. He removes kings and installs kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

22He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with Him.

23To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise! For You gave me wisdom and power. You have made known to me what we asked of You. You revealed to us the word of the king.”
