Daniel 5:10-12
Darby Translation
10 —The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, [even] the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] astrologers;
12 forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

Daniel 5:10-12
New International Version
10 The queen,[a] hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!”(A) she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods(B) in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom(C) like that of the gods.(D) Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.(E) 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar,(F) was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles(G) and solve difficult problems.(H) Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.(I)”
