2:21 He changes times and seasons,
deposing some kings
and establishing others. 1
He gives wisdom to the wise;
he imparts knowledge to those with understanding; 2
12:4 “But you, Daniel, close up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will dash about, 3 and knowledge will increase.”
1 tn Aram “kings.”
2 tn Aram “the knowers of understanding.”
3 tn Or “will run back and forth”; KJV “shall run to and fro”; NIV “will go here and there”; CEV “will go everywhere.”
sn Many will dash about is probably an allusion to Amos 8:12.
