Daniel 2:30

But, as for me—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me,—therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.

In The King James Version

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
