Daniel 2:17-23
Legacy Standard Bible
God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to his friends, to (A)Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 18 so that they might (B)seek compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be (C)destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night (D)vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven; 20 Daniel answered and said,
“Let the name of God be (E)blessed forever and ever,
For (F)wisdom and might belong to Him.
21 And He (G)changes the times and the seasons;
He (H)removes kings and [a]establishes kings;
He gives (I)wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to [b]men of understanding.
22 He (J)reveals the deep and hidden things;
(K)He knows what is in the darkness,
And the (L)light dwells with Him.
23 To You, O (M)God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise,
For You have given me (N)wisdom and might;
Even now You have made known to me what we (O)sought from You,
For You have made known to us the king’s matter.”
