Daniel 2:21-23

New English Translation

²¹ He changes times and seasons,
deposing some kings
and establishing others.^[a]
He gives wisdom to the wise;
he imparts knowledge to those with understanding;^[b]
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 we^[c] requested from you.
For you have enabled us to understand the king’s dilemma.”^[d]
