He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. I thank you, and praise you, you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Daniel praises God who gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding, and reveals deep and hidden things. The pairing of God-given 'wisdom' and 'knowledge' as revelatory gifts faintly parallels Paul's first two charisms, though no verbal citation is made.
Low confidenceDaniel praises God who gives wisdom to the wise and reveals deep and hidden things, a revelation-of-mysteries pattern resonant with the Father revealing hidden things to the simple. The link is thematic (divine disclosure of mysteries) rather than verbal, so it stays faint.
