Daniel 4:4-9
Revised Standard Version
4 [a] I, Nebuchadnez′zar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace. 5 I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me. 6 Therefore I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chalde′ans, and the astrologers came in; and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation. 8 At last Daniel came in before me—he who was named Belteshaz′zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods[b]—and I told him the dream, saying, 9 “O Belteshaz′zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods[c] is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is[d] the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.
