Daniel 5:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)Then the king's color changed, (B)and his thoughts alarmed him; (C)his limbs gave way, and (D)his knees knocked together. 7 (E)The king called loudly to bring in (F)the enchanters, the (G)Chaldeans, and (H)the astrologers. The king declared[a] to the wise men of Babylon, (I)“Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and (J)shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king's wise men came in, but (K)they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.
