Daniel 2:21

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar's Dream

²⁰ Daniel also cried aloud, and said, "O that the name of God might be praised for ever and ever, for wisdom and strength are his own! ²¹ He changeth the times and ages; he putteth down kings, he setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and understanding to those that understand; ²² he openeth the deep secrets; he knoweth the thing that lieth in darkness, for the light dwelleth with him.
