17. Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18. to petition mercies of the God of heaven concerning this mystery and that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19. Then the mystery was revealed unto Daniel in a night vision for which Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
