*
He changes times and seasons ;
he removes kings and sets up kings ;
he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding ;
*
he reveals deep and mysterious things ;
he knows what is in the darkness ,
and the light dwells with him .
*
To thee ,
O God of my fathers ,
I give thanks and praise ,
for thou hast given me wisdom and strength ,
and hast now made known to me what we asked of thee ,
for thou hast made known to us the king '
s matter ."
*
Therefore Daniel went in to Ar '
i-och ,
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 ;
bring me in before the king ,
and I will show the king the interpretation ."
*
Then Ar '
i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste ,
and said thus to him : "
I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation ."
*
The king said to Daniel ,
whose name was Belteshaz '
zar , "
Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation ?"
*
Daniel answered the king , "
No wise men ,
enchanters ,
magicians ,
or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked ,
*
but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries ,
and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez '
zar what will be in the latter days .
