“Let the name of God 2 be praised 3 forever and ever,
for wisdom and power belong to him.
2:21 He changes times and seasons,
deposing some kings
and establishing others. 4
He gives wisdom to the wise;
he imparts knowledge to those with understanding; 5
2:22 he reveals deep and hidden things.
He knows what is in the darkness,
and light resides with him.
