Daniel 2:10
Compare all
8 The king answered and said, “I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm:
9 if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the1 time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can2 give me its interpretation.”  
10 The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, “There is not a man on earth who can tell the king’s matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king aexcept the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”  
12 For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought aDaniel and his companions, to kill them.  

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

14 Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon;
15 he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree from the king so1 urgent?” Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.  
16 So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18 athat they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.  
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel ain a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.  
20 Daniel answered and said:
a“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
bFor wisdom and might are His. 
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. 
23 “I thank You and praise You,
O God of my fathers;
You have given me wisdom and might,
And have now made known to me what we aasked of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s1 demand.”  

Daniel Explains the Dream

24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation.”
25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king, and said thus to him, “I have found a man of the1 captives of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
