⁶ And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!

¹³ And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here;

⁵ Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁹ But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

¹⁰ But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

¹¹ For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

²⁶ But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

³⁵ That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

⁴⁷ And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.

²⁸ But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:

²² It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

⁴³ Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

⁴⁵ And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

⁴⁶ He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.

¹⁰ He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

¹⁴ The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

²⁸ And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.

¹¹ Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?

⁸ Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

⁵ For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.

⁴ He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

²⁹ The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.
