Daniel 5:11-12

11There is a 1man in your kingdom in whom is 2a 3spirit 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 45the king, appointed him chief of the 6magicians, conjurers, 7Chaldeans and diviners. 12This was because an 8extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named 9Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”
