Daniel 5:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you. You are very wise and clever. I have heard that you understand many things. ¹⁵ I told my wise men and enchanters to read these words. I asked them to tell me what the words mean. But they could not explain the message to me. ¹⁶ I have heard that you can tell people what their dreams mean. And I have heard that you can find the answer to difficult problems. So can you read these words? Can you tell me what they mean? If you can do that, then I will put valuable purple clothes on you. You will have a gold chain around your neck. You will become the third ruler in the kingdom.’
