Daniel 2:20-23

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[20] Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his. [21] He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding; [22] he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. [23] I thank you, and praise you, you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king's matter.
