katapi HOME Daniel 2:17-23 - What the dream means.  Dn.2.17-23

2 17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, 2 18 and told them to seek mercy of the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 2 19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 2 20 DANIEL said:

"Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever,
to whom belong wisdom and might.
2 21 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;
2 22 he reveals deep and mysterious things;
he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
2 23 To you, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and strength,
and have now made known to me what we asked of you,
for you have made known to us the king's matter."
