Daniel 2:36

This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

Ver. 36. This is the dream.] By this time Nebuchadnezzar began much to admire Daniel, who modestly taketh in his associates, as Paul also doth Sylvanus and Timothy, when he saith, "And we will tell the interpretation thereof," sc., ουν Yεω, God assisting us.
