Daniel 2:30
_ _ not ... for any wisdom that I have — not on account of any previous wisdom which I may have manifested (Daniel 1:17, Daniel 1:20). The specially-favored servants of God in all ages disclaim merit in themselves and ascribe all to the grace and power of God (Genesis 41:16; Acts 3:12). The “as for me,” disclaiming extraordinary merit, contrasts elegantly with “as for thee,” whereby Daniel courteously, but without flattery, implies, that God honored Nebuchadnezzar, as His vicegerent over the world kingdoms, with a revelation on the subject uppermost in his thoughts, the ultimate destinies of those kingdoms.
_ _ for their sakes that shall make known, etc. — a Chaldee idiom for, “to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king.”
_ _ the thoughts of thy heart — thy subject of thought before falling asleep. Or, perhaps the probation of Nebuchadnezzar’s character through this revelation may be the meaning intended (compare 2 Chronicles 32:31; Luke 2:35). |
Daniel 2:30
But — But that the interpretation may be manifest to the king, and that thou mayest be better instructed and satisfied in thy mind. |

But as (p) 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.
(p) Because he had said that God alone must reveal the signification of this dream, the King might have asked why Daniel undertook to interpret it: and therefore he shows that he was but God's minister, and had no gifts but those which God had given him to set forth his glory. |
