[19] Then the secret was revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven, [20] and speaking aloud, he said, "May the name of the Lord be blessed by the present generation and for ever; for wisdom and fortitude are his. [21] And he alters the times and the ages. He takes away kingdoms and he establishes them. He gives wisdom to those who are wise and teaching skills to those who understand. [22] He reveals deep and hidden things, and he knows what has been established in darkness. And the light is with him. [23] To you, God of our fathers, I confess, and you, I praise. For you have given wisdom and fortitude to me, and now you have revealed to me what we asked of you, for you have uncovered for us the king's thoughts."

Then, when the days have been completed, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar along with the peace offering. And I will be pleased with you, says the Lord God."

For commandment is a lamp, and law is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
