Daniel
Chapters 2:23-29
New International Version Anglicized
23I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:you have given me wisdom and power,you have made known to me what we asked of you,you have made known to us the dream of the king.’
24Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, ‘Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him.’
25Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, ‘I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can tell the king what his dream means.’
26The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), ‘Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?’
27Daniel replied, ‘No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about,
28but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you were lying in bed are these:
29‘As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.
