19 That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.
20 He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever,for he has all wisdom and power.
21 He controls the course of world events;he removes kings and sets up other kings.He gives wisdom to the wiseand knowledge to the scholars.
22 He reveals deep and mysterious thingsand knows what lies hidden in darkness,though he is surrounded by light.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors,for you have given me wisdom and strength.You have told me what we asked of youand revealed to us what the king demanded.”
24 Then Daniel went in to see Arioch, whom the king had ordered to execute the wise men of Babylon. Daniel said to him, “Don’t kill the wise men. Take me to the king, and I will tell him the meaning of his dream.”
25 Arioch quickly took Daniel to the king and said, “I have found one of the captives from Judah who will tell the king the meaning of his dream!”
