Daniel 5:10-12

10The queen entered the banquet 1hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen spoke and said, “2O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts alarm you or your 3face be pale. 11There is a 4man in your kingdom in whom is 5a 6spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father 7 8the king, appointed him chief of the 9magicians, conjurers, 10Chaldeans and diviners. 12This was because an 11extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named 12Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”
