Daniel 5:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 And I have heard that a spirit of the gods is in you and enlightenment and insight and excellent wisdom was found in you. 15 And now the wise men and the conjurers[a] were brought in before me so that they could read this writing in order to make its explanation[b] known to me, but they were not able to disclose the explanation[c] of the matter. 16 But I have heard concerning you that you are able to produce interpretations[d] and to solve riddles; now if you are able to read the writing and to make known its explanation[e] to me, you will be clothed in purple and a necklace of gold will be placed around your neck and you will rule as third in command in the kingdom.”
