And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Verse 21 is found in chapter 2 of Daniel. Daniel responds to the threat with prudence and, before acting, gathers his companions to ask the God of heaven for mercy. The revelation comes during prayer and immediately produces praise that attributes wisdom, power, and control over times and kingdoms to God. The sequence of prayer, revelation, and worship shows that the knowledge received is not Daniel’s possession but a divine gift.

Er ändert Zeit und Stunde; er setzt Könige ab und setzt Könige ein; er gibt den Weisen ihre Weisheit und den Verständigen ihren Verstand;
Y él es el que muda los tiempos y las oportunidades: quita reyes, y pone reyes: da la sabiduría a los sabios, y la ciencia a los entendidos:
Él cambia los tiempos y las épocas; quita reyes y establece reyes. Da sabiduría a los sabios y conocimiento a los que tienen discernimiento.
C'est lui qui change les temps et les circonstances, qui renverse et qui établit les rois, qui donne la sagesse aux sages et la science à ceux qui ont de l'intelligence.
ed egli muta i tempi, e le stagioni; egli rimuove i re, e altresì li stabilisce; egli dà la sapienza a’ savi, e il conoscimento a quelli che son dotati d’intendimento.
E ele muda os tempos e as estações; ele remove os reis e estabelece os reis; ele dá sabedoria aos sábios e conhecimento aos entendidos.
他改變時間、季節, 他廢王,立王; 將智慧賜給智慧人, 將知識賜給聰明人。
