Daniel 5:15-17

Living Bible

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.”

¹⁷ Daniel answered, “Keep your gifts or give them to someone else, but I will tell you what the writing means.
