²⁷ Daniel answered, “No person can explain to the king the secret he has asked about. No wise man, magician or fortune-teller can do this. ²⁸ But there is a God in heaven who explains secret things. God has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen at a later time. This is your dream. This is the vision you saw while lying on your bed: ²⁹ My king, as you were lying there, you thought about things to come. God, who can tell people about secret things, showed you what is going to happen.
