Daniel 5:10-12

10The queen entered the banquet 1hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen began to speak 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 78the king--appointed him chief of the soothsayer priests, sorcerers, Chaldeans, and diviners. 12This was because an 9extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of riddles, and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named 10Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”
