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.
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.
bHe removes kings and raises up kings;
cHe gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
