Daniel 5:11–16

¹¹ⁱThere is a man in thy kingdom, ⁱⁱin whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy ^||father ^jlight and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy ^||father, the king, I say, thy father, made ^kmaster of the magicians, ^lastrologers, ^lChaldeans, and ^lsoothsayers; ^12mForasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, ^||interpreting of ⁿdreams, and ^oshewing of ^phard sentences, and ^||dissolving of ^†doubts, were found in the same Daniel, ^qwhom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. ¹³Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art ^rof the children of the captivity of Judah, ^swhom the king my ^||father brought out of Jewry? ¹⁴I have even heard of thee, that ⁱⁱthe spirit of the gods is in thee, and that ^jlight and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. ¹⁵And now ^tthe wise men, ^tthe astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: ^cbut they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: ¹⁶And I have heard of thee, that thou canst ^u†make interpretations, and ^udissolve doubts: ^vnow ^wif thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, ^vthou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and ^vhave a chain of gold about thy neck, and ^vshalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
