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.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee,O thou God of my fathers,who hast given me wisdom and might,and hast made known unto me nowwhat we desired of thee:for thou hast now made known unto usthe king's matter.
