Daniel 5:13-16 ▼

13 Then Daniel was brought into the presence of the king. The king asked him, “Are you the Daniel, one of the Jewish exiles, whom my father, the king, brought from Judah?

14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, that you have shown brilliant insight and extraordinary wisdom.

15 The wise men and enchanters were brought in to me to read this writing and tell me its meaning, but they could not say what the words meant.

16 But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems; now, if you are able to read the writing and tell me what it means, you shall be clothed in purple, wear a chain of gold around your neck, and be third in governing the kingdom.”
