Daniel 2:17-22
New American Standard Bible
17 Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends, (A)Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, about the matter, 18 so that they might (B)request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his friends would not be (C)killed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
The Secret Is Revealed to Daniel
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night (D)vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven; 20 Daniel said,
“May the name of God be (E)blessed forever and ever,
For (F)wisdom and power belong to Him.
21 It is He who (G)changes the times and the periods;
He (H)removes kings and appoints kings;
He gives (I)wisdom to wise men,
And knowledge to [a]people of understanding.
22 It is He who (J)reveals the profound and hidden things;
(K)He knows what is in the darkness,
And the (L)light dwells with Him.
