King James Version

Daniel 5:7-8

7The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.12

8Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
