Daniel 2:14-23 - God Shows Daniel What The Dream Means
14 At that time Daniel turned back counsel and reason to Arioch, leader of the king's executioners, that went forth to kill to the wise of Babel: 15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's ruler, For what the severe edict from before the king? Then Arioch made known the word to Daniel. 16 And Daniel went up and sought from the king that he will give time for it, and to show to the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel departed to his house, and made known the word to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah his companions: 18 And for seeking companions from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret: that Daniel and his companions shall not be destroyed with the rest of the wise of Babel. 19 Then to Daniel in a vision of the night was the secret uncovered. Then Daniel praised to the God of the heavens. 20 Daniel. answered and said, For this the name of God being praised from forever and even to forever: for wisdom and strength are to him: 21 And he changes the times and the seasons; removing kings and setting up kings; giving wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those knowing understanding. 22 He uncovered deep and hidden things: he knew what in darkness, and light lodged with him. 23 For thee, O God of my fathers, I praise and laud that thou gavest me wisdom and strength, and now didst make known to me what we sought from thee: for thou didst make known to us the king's word.
