Daniel 5:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
10 Because of the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen[a] came to the banquet hall. “May the king live forever,” she said. “Don’t let your thoughts terrify you or your face be pale.[b](A) 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has a spirit of the holy gods in him.(B) In the days of your predecessor he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods. Your predecessor, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, mediums, Chaldeans, and diviners. Your own predecessor, the king, 12 did this because Daniel, the one the king named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and intelligence, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems.[c](C) Therefore, summon Daniel, and he will give the interpretation.”

New International Version
10 The queen,[a] hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!”(A) she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods(B) in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom(C) like that of the gods.(D) Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.(E) 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar,(F) was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles(G) and solve difficult problems.(H) Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.(I)”
