Daniel 5:12-16

12forasmuch as an excellent spiritH7308, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreamsH2493, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were foundH7912 in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH8036 BelteshazzarH1096. NowH3705 let DanielH1841 be called, and he will shew the interpretationH6591.

13ThenH116 was DanielH1841 broughtH858 in before the kingH4430. The kingH4430 spoke and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Art thou that DanielH1841, of the children of the captivity of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858 out of JudahH3061?

14And I have heardH8086 of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the 1godsH426 is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdomH2452 is foundH7912 in thee.

15And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the magicians, have been broughtH5954 in before me, that they should readH7123 this writing, and makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof; but they could not shew the interpretationH6591 of the thing.

16But I have heardH8086 of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. 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.
