The king began speaking and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel who is one of the [a](A)exiles from Judah, whom my father the king (B)brought from Judah? 14 Now I have heard about you that [b]a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight, and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you. 15 Just now the (C)wise men and the sorcerers were brought in before me to read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they (D)could not declare the interpretation of the [c]message.
