Daniel 4:5-9

5I had a dream that made me afraid. As I was lying in bed, the images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me.

6So I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me.

7When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.

8Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream. (He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)

9I said, “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me.
