Daniel 4:6-9

6So I gave orders to 1bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, so that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7Then the 2soothsayer priests, the sorcerers, the 3Chaldeans, and the diviners came in and I related the dream 4to them, but they could not make its 5interpretation known to me. 8But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is 6Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is 78a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream 9to him, saying, 9‘Belteshazzar, 10chief of the soothsayer priests, since I know that 11a spirit of the holy gods is in you and 12no secret baffles you, 13tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.
