Bible Verses

The king asked Daniel, who had been named Belteshazzar: “Can you tell me what my dream was and what it means?”

Immediately, Arioch took Daniel to the king and said: “Here is a man found among the Judean captives who says he can interpret the king’s dream.”

After this, Daniel approached Arioch, the commander appointed by the king to carry out the execution of Babylon’s wise men. Daniel told him: “Do not execute the wise men yet. Bring me to the king, and I will interpret his dreams.”

I thank you and praise you, O God of my ancestors. You have given me wisdom and strength; you have shown me what we asked for —you have revealed to us the dream of the king.

He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in darkness; for the light is with him.

He changes times and seasons; he sets up and deposes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Blessed be God’s name forever and ever, for his is wisdom and power.

Then, in a night vision, the mystery was shown to Daniel. He praised the God of heaven:

He asked them to pray for God’s mercy about this mystery so they wouldn’t die with the other wise men of Babylon.

Daniel returned home and told his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
