19. Then in a night vision the mystery was revealed to Daniel. So Daniel praised the God of heaven,
20. saying,“Let the name of God be praised forever and ever,for wisdom and power belong to him.
21. He changes times and seasons,deposing some kings and establishing others.He gives wisdom to the wise;he imparts knowledge to those with understanding;
22. he reveals deep and hidden things.He knows what is in the darkness,and light resides with him.
23. O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.Now you have enabled me to understand what I requested from you.For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.”
24. Then Daniel went in to see Arioch (whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon). He came and said to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon! Escort me to the king, and I will disclose the interpretation to him!”
25. So Arioch quickly ushered Daniel into the king’s presence, saying to him, “I have found a man from the captives of Judah who can make known the interpretation to the king.”
26. The king then asked Daniel (whose name was also Belteshazzar), “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I saw, as well as its interpretation?”
