Daniel 2:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream to Daniel

¹⁴ Then Daniel responded with good judgment and tact to Ariok, the chief of the king’s executioners, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon. ¹⁵ He said to Ariok, the king’s officer, “Why is the decree from the king so harsh?” So Ariok explained the situation to Daniel. ¹⁶ Daniel then entered the court and asked the king to give him time so that he could reveal the interpretation to the king.
