Daniel 5:7-16

7The kingH4430 cried aloud to bringH5954 in the enchanters, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayers. The kingH4430 spake and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, Whosoever shall readH7123 this writing, and show me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of goldH1722 about his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. 8ThenH116 came in all the king’sH4430 wiseH2445 men; but they could not readH7123 the writing, nor makeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591. 9ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatly troubled, and his countenance was changedH8133 in him, and his lords were perplexed.

10Nowthe queenH4433 by reason of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his lords came into the banquet houseH1005: the queenH4433 spake and saidH560, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957; let not thy thoughtsH7476 trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changedH8133. 11There is a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 light and understanding and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, were foundH7912 in him; and the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, made him master of the magiciansH2749, enchanters, ChaldeansH3779, and soothsayers; 12forasmuch as an excellent spiritH7308, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreamsH2493, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were foundH7912 in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH8036 BelteshazzarH1096. NowH3705 let DanielH1841 be called, and he will show the interpretationH6591.

13ThenH116 was DanielH1841 broughtH858 in before the kingH4430. The kingH4430 spake and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Art thou that DanielH1841, who art of the children of the captivity of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858 out of JudahH3061? 14I have heardH8086 of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdomH2452 are foundH7912 in thee. 15And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the enchanters, have been broughtH5954 in before me, that they should readH7123 this writing, and makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof; but they could not show the interpretationH6591 of the thing. 16But I have heardH8086 of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts: nowH3705 if thou canst readH7123 the writing, and makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of goldH1722 about thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437.
