Daniel 2:27 in Context — Daniel 2

25 Arjoc conduisit promptement Daniel devant le roi, et lui parla ainsi: J’ai trouvé parmi les captifs de Juda un homme qui donnera l’explication au roi.

26 Le roi prit la parole et dit à Daniel, qu’on nommait Beltschatsar: Es-tu capable de me faire connaître le songe que j’ai eu et son explication?

27 Daniel répondit en présence du roi et dit: Ce que le roi demande est un secret que les sages, les astrologues, les magiciens et les devins, ne sont pas capables de découvrir au roi.

28 Mais il y a dans les cieux un Dieu qui révèle les secrets, et qui a fait connaître au roi Nebucadnetsar ce qui arrivera dans la suite des temps. Voici ton songe et les visions que tu as eues sur ta couche.

29 Sur ta couche, ô roi, il t’est monté des pensées touchant ce qui sera après ce temps-ci; et celui qui révèle les secrets t’a fait connaître ce qui arrivera.
