20 Daniel said,
“Let the name of God be (A)blessed forever and ever,
For (B)wisdom and power belong to Him.
21 “It is He who (C)changes the times and the epochs;
He (D)removes kings and [a]establishes kings;
He gives (E)wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to [b]men of understanding.
22 “It is He who (F)reveals the profound and hidden things;
(G)He knows what is in the darkness,
And the (H)light dwells with Him.
23 “To You, O (I)God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise,
For You have given me (J)wisdom and power;
Even now You have made known to me what we (K)requested of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s matter.”

Daniel 5:11-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 There is a (A)man in your kingdom in whom is [a]a (B)spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father [b](C)the king, appointed him chief of the [c]magicians, conjurers, [d]Chaldeans and diviners. 12 This was because an (D)extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named (E)Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”
