Daniel 5:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Now I have heard about you that [a]a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight, and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you. 15 Just now the (A)wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this writing and make its interpretation known to me, but they (B)could not declare the interpretation of the [b]message. 16 But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and [c]solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the writing and make its (C)interpretation known to me, you will be (D)clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will rule with power as the [d]third ruler in the kingdom.”
