Your predecessor, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the diviners, mediums, Chaldeans, and astrologers. Your own predecessor, the king,did this because Daniel, the one the king named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and perception, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems. Therefore, summon Daniel, and he will give the interpretation.”Then Daniel was brought before the king. The king said to him,“ Are you Daniel, one of the Judean exiles that my predecessor the king brought from Judah?I’ve heard that you have the spirit of the gods in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.Now the wise men and mediums were brought before me to read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they could not give its interpretation.However, I have heard about you that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple, have a gold chain around your neck, and have the third highest position in the kingdom.”
