Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ and they had sought mercy of the God of heaven touching this secret, that Daniel and his friends might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon: ¹⁹ and the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; whereupon he blessed the God of heaven, and said, ²⁰ "Blessed be the name of God from everlasting to everlasting; for wisdom and knowledge are his; ²¹ and he changeth times and seasons. He setteth up kings and removeth them. He giveth wisdom to the wise and understanding to them who have knowledge. ²² He it is who revealeth deep and hidden things. He knoweth the things which are in darkness. And with him is the light. ²³ To thee, God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise; because thou hast given me wisdom and power and hast made known to me what we asked thee and hast revealed to me the vision of the king.
