Daniel 2:23-25
Lexham English Bible
23 To you, O God of my ancestors,[a]
I give thanks and I give praises,
for the wisdom and the power you gave to me,
and now you have made known to me
what we have asked from you,
for you have made known to us the matter of the king.”
Daniel Praises God and Interprets the King’s Dream
24 Therefore[b] Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed[c] to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and thus he said to him: “You must not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me in before the king and I will give the explanation[d] to the king.”
25 Then Arioch quickly[e] brought Daniel in before the king and thus he said to him: “I have found a man among the exiles[f] of Judah[g] who can relate[h] the explanation[i] to the king.
