Into the Fire

During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said:

     "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;

         wisdom and power are His. 

     He changes times and seasons;

         he sets up kings and deposes them.

     He gives wisdom to the wise

         and knowledge to the discerning.

     He reveals deep and hidden things;

         He knows what lies in darkness,

         and light dwells with Him.

     I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:

         You have given me wisdom and power,

     you have made known to me what we asked of you,

         you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Daniel 2:19-23 (NIV)
