"Iª thankª° thee, and praiseª° thee, O thou Godª of my fathers,ª who¹ hast givenª° me wisdomª and might,ª and hast made knownª° unto me nowª what¹ we desiredª° of¹ thee:² for¹ thou hast [now] made knownª° unto us the king'sª matter.ª ... Thereforeªªª Danielª went inª° untoª Arioch,ª whom¹ the kingª had ordainedª° to destroyª° the wiseª [men] of Babylon:ª he wentª° and saidª° thusª unto him; Destroyª° notª the wiseª [men] of Babylon:ª bring me in²°¹ beforeª the king,ª and I will shewª° unto the kingª the interpretation.ª" {Dan 2:23-24} |
