Daniel 5:13-16

Living Bible

¹³ So Daniel was rushed in to see the king. The king asked him, “Are you the Daniel brought from Israel as a captive by King Nebuchadnezzar? ¹⁴ I have heard that you have the spirit of the gods within you and that you are filled with enlightenment and wisdom. ¹⁵ My wise men and astrologers have tried to read that writing on the wall and tell me what it means, but they can’t. ¹⁶ I am told you can solve all kinds of mysteries. If you can tell me the meaning of those words, I will clothe you in purple robes, with a gold chain around your neck, and make you the third ruler in the kingdom.”
