Daniel 5:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 There is a (A)man in your kingdom in whom is [a]a (B)spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father [b](C)the king, appointed him chief of the [c]magicians, conjurers, [d]Chaldeans and diviners. 12 This was because an (D)extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named (E)Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation.”
