²⁴So Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had commanded to execute the royal advisers. He said to him, “Don’t put them to death. Take me to the king, and I will tell him what his dream means.”

²⁵At once Arioch took Daniel into King Nebuchadnezzar’s presence and told the king, “I have found one of the Jewish exiles, who can tell Your Majesty the meaning of your dream.”

²⁶The king said to Daniel (who was also called Belteshazzar), “Can you tell me what I dreamt and what it means?”

²⁷Daniel replied, “Your Majesty, there is no wizard, magician, fortune teller, or astrologer who can tell you that. ²⁸But there is a God in heaven, who reveals mysteries. He has informed Your Majesty what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you the dream, the vision you had while you were asleep.

²⁹“While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamt about the future; and God, who reveals mysteries, showed you what is going to happen. ³⁰Now, this mystery was revealed to me, not because I am wiser than anyone else, but so that Your Majesty may learn the meaning of your dream and understand the thoughts that have come to you.
