Daniel 4:18

4:18 “This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its ⁴  interpretation, for none of the wise men in ⁵  my kingdom are able to make known to me the interpretation. But you can do so, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Aram “of.”
