14 I have heard of you, that athe Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
15 Now athe wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not give the interpretation of the thing.
16 And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and1 explain enigmas. aNow if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
17 Then Daniel answered, and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 O king, athe Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor.
19 And because of the majesty that He gave him, aall peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he bexecuted; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down.
