insight, discernment, and wisdom like that
of the gods.
King Nebuchadnezzar your father appointed him chief of the magicians, astrologers, wise men, and diviners.
5:12 Thus there was found in this man Daniel, whom the king renamed Belteshazzar, an extraordinary spirit, knowledge, and skill to interpret
dreams, solve riddles, and decipher knotty problems.
Now summon
Daniel, and he will disclose the interpretation.”

5:14 I have heard about you, how there is a spirit of the gods in you, and how you have insight, discernment, and extraordinary wisdom.
5:15 Now the wise men and astrologers were brought before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation. But they were unable to disclose the interpretation of the message.
5:16 However, I have heard that you are able to provide interpretations and to decipher knotty problems. Now if you are able to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, you will wear purple and have a golden collar around your neck and be third ruler in the kingdom.”
