Daniel 5:12-16

12did thisH3606 becauseH6903H1768 DanielH1841, the oneH1768 he namedH7761H8036 BelteshazzarH1096, was foundH7912 to have an extraordinaryH3493 spiritH7308, as well as knowledgeH4486, understandingH7924, and the ability to interpretH6590 dreamsH2493, explainH263 riddlesH280, and solveH8271 difficult problemsH7001. SummonH7123 DanielH1841, thereforeH3705, and he will give youH2324 the interpretationH6591.”

13SoH116 DanielH1841 was broughtH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430H6032, who askedH560 himH1841, “Are youH607H1932 DanielH1841, oneH1768 ofH4481 the exilesH1123H1547 my fatherH2 the kingH4430 broughtH858 fromH4481 JudahH3061? 14I have heardH8086H5922 thatH1768 the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in you, and that you have insightH5094, intelligenceH7924, and extraordinaryH3493 wisdomH2452.

15NowH3705 the wise menH2445 and enchantersH826H1768 were broughtH5954 before meH6925 to readH7123 thisH1836 inscriptionH3792 and interpret itH6591 for meH3046, but they couldH3546 notH3809 giveH2324 itsH4406 interpretationH6591. 16ButH576 I have heardH8086 about youH5922, thatH1768 you are ableH3202 to give interpretationsH6591H6590 and solveH8271 difficult problemsH7001. ThereforeH3705, ifH2006 you canH3202 readH7123 this inscriptionH3792 and give meH3046 its interpretationH6591, you will be clothedH3848 in purpleH711 and have a goldH1722 chainH2002 placed aroundH5922 your neckH6676, and you will be made the thirdH8531 highest rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437.”
