Daniel 2:22

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar's Dream

“It is He who changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and establishes kings.

And [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding!

“It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And the light dwells with Him.

For You have given me wisdom and power;
Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You,
For You have made known to us [the solution to] the king’s matter.”
