Daniel 2:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ God is the one who changes times and eras,
    who dethrones one king, only to establish another,
        who grants wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those with insight.
²² God is the one who uncovers what lies deeply hidden;
    he knows what hides in darkness;
        light lives with him!
²³ I acknowledge and praise you, my fathers’ God!
    You’ve given me wisdom and might,
        and now you’ve made known to me what we asked of you:
            you’ve made known to us the king’s demand.
