19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel ^ain a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.  ‡

21 And He changes ^athe times and the seasons;
^bHe removes kings and raises up kings;
^cHe gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding. ‡

22 ^aHe reveals deep and secret things;
^bHe knows what is in the darkness,
And ^clight dwells with Him. ‡
