Daniel 5:7-16

7The kingH4430 calledH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 inH5954 the 1sorcerersH826, the 2ChaldeansH3779, and the divinersH1505. The kingH4430 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895, “AnyoneH3606H606 whoH1768 can readH7123 thisH1836 inscriptionH3792 and explainH2331 its interpretationH6591 to me shall be 3clothedH3848 with purpleH711 and have a 4necklaceH2002 of goldH1722 aroundH5922 his neckH6676, and haveH7981 authorityH7981 as 5thirdH8533 ruler in the kingdomH4437.” 8ThenH116 allH3606 the king’sH4430 wiseH2445 menH2445 cameH5954 inH5954, but 6they couldH3546 not readH7123 the inscriptionH3792 or makeH3046 knownH3046 its interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430. 9ThenH116 KingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 was greatlyH7690 7alarmedH927, his 89faceH2122 grewH8133 even more paleH8133, and his noblesH7261 were perplexedH7672.

10The queenH4433 enteredH5954 the banquetH4961 10hallH1005 becauseH6903 of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his noblesH7261; the queenH4433 beganH6032 toH6032 speakH6032 and saidH560, “11O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! Do not let your thoughtsH7476 alarmH927 you or your 12faceH2122 be paleH8133. 11ThereH383 isH383 a 13manH1400 in your kingdomH4437 in whomH1768 is 14a 15spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of your fatherH2, illuminationH5094, insightH7924, and wisdomH2452 like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426 were foundH7912 in him. And KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, your fatherH2--your fatherH2 1617the kingH4430--appointedH6966 him chiefH7229 of the soothsayerH2749 priestsH2749, sorcerersH826, ChaldeansH3779, and divinersH1505. 12This was becauseH6903H1768 an 18extraordinaryH3493 spiritH7308, knowledgeH4486 and insightH7924, interpretationH6590 of dreamsH2493, explanationH263 of riddlesH280, and solvingH8271 of difficultH7001 problemsH7001 were foundH7912 in this DanielH1841, whomH1768 the kingH4430 namedH8036 19BelteshazzarH1096. Let DanielH1841 nowH3705 be summonedH7123 and he will declareH2331 the interpretationH6591.”

13ThenH116 DanielH1841 was broughtH5954 inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. The kingH4430 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, “Are you that DanielH1841 whoH1768 is one of the 2021exilesH1123H1547 from JudahH3061, whomH1768 my fatherH2 the kingH4430 22broughtH858 from JudahH3061? 14Now I have heardH8086 aboutH5922 you that 23a spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in you, and that illuminationH5094, insightH7924, and extraordinaryH3493 wisdomH2452 have been foundH7912 in you. 15Just nowH3705 the 24wiseH2445 menH2445 and the sorcerersH826 were broughtH5954 inH5954 beforeH6925 me to readH7123 thisH1836 inscriptionH3792 and makeH3046 its interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to me, but they 25couldH3546 not declareH2331 the interpretationH6591 of the 26messageH4406. 16But I personallyH576 have heardH8086 aboutH5922 you, that you are ableH3202 to giveH6590 interpretationsH6590 and solveH8271 difficultH7001 problemsH7001. NowH3705 ifH2006 you are ableH3202 to readH7123 the inscriptionH3792 and makeH3046 its 27interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to me, you will be 28clothedH3848 with purpleH711 and wear a necklaceH2002 of goldH1722 aroundH5922 your neckH6676, and you will haveH7981 authorityH7981 as the thirdH8531 ruler in the kingdomH4437.”
