46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel

and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense

be presented to him.

Evil serves the purposes of God

48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and

lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire

province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise

men.

49 Moreover, at Daniel’s request the king appointed

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the

province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained at the

royal court.

God cares for Gentiles

47 The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of

gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for

you were able to reveal this mystery.”
