Daniel 5:9-11
New King James Version
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly (A)troubled, his countenance was changed, and his lords were [a]astonished.
10 The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. 11 (B)There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your [b]father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your [c]father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers.
