27:002:015 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
27:002:016 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
27:002:017 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
27:002:018 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
27:002:019 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
27:002:020 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
27:002:021 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
27:002:022 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
27:002:023 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
27:002:024 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
