Daniel 5:14-16

English Standard Version

¹⁴ I have heard of you that ^(A)the spirit of the gods^[a] is in you, and that ^(B)light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you. ¹⁵ Now ^(C)the wise men, the ^(D)enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but ^(E)they could not show the interpretation of the matter. ^16 (F)But I have heard that you can give interpretations and ^(G)solve problems. ^(H)Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, ^(I)you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck and ^(J)shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
