Daniel 5:14-16
English Standard Version
14 I have heard of you that (A)the spirit of the gods[a] is in you, and that (B)light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you. 15 Now (C)the wise men, the (D)enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but (E)they could not show the interpretation of the matter. 16 (F)But I have heard that you can give interpretations and (G)solve problems. (H)Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, (I)you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck and (J)shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
