Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel,“ You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.I have heard of you that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now 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.”
