16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hanani´ah, Mish´a-el, and Azari´ah, his companions:
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said,Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever:for wisdom and might are his:
21 and he changeth the times and the seasons:he removeth kings, and setteth up kings:he giveth wisdom unto the wise,and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 he revealeth the deep and secret things:he knoweth what is in the darkness,and the light dwelleth with him.
