Daniel 2:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ He changes times and seasons.
    He removes some kings from power.
    He causes other kings to rule.
The wisdom of those who are wise comes from him.
    He gives knowledge to those who have understanding.
²² He explains deep and hidden things.
    He knows what happens in the darkest places.
    And where he is, everything is light.
²³ God of my people of long ago, I thank and praise you.
    You have given me wisdom and power.
You have made known to me what we asked you for.
    You have shown us the king’s dream.”
