Daniel 4:6-9

6So I gave orders to 1bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7Then the 2 3magicians, the conjurers, the 4Chaldeans and the diviners came in and I related the dream 5to them, but they could not make its 6interpretation known to me. 8But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is 7Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is 8 9a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream 10to him, saying, 9‘O Belteshazzar, 11chief of the magicians, since I know that 12a spirit of the holy gods is in you and 13no mystery baffles you, 14tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.
