Then in a night vision the mystery was revealed to Daniel. So Daniel praised<n id="1" /> the God of heaven,

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says to them: Look, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

He asked them to pray for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he<n id="1" /> and his friends would not be destroyed along with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel replied to the king, &#8220;The mystery that the king is asking about is such that no wise men, astrologers, magicians, or diviners can possibly disclose it to the king.

<p class="poetry">The <sc>Lordsc> will terrify them,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">for<n id="2" /> he will weaken<n id="3" /> all the gods of the earth.p> <p class="poetry">All the distant nations will worship the <sc>Lordsc> in their own lands.<n id="4" />p>

and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether or not there are forests in it. And be brave,<n id="1" /> and bring back some of the fruit of the land.&#8221; Now it was the time of year<n id="2" /> for the first ripe grapes.<n id="3" />p>

The king replied to Daniel, &#8220;Certainly your God is a God of gods and Lord of kings and revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery!&#8221;
