27:005:010 Now the queen by reason of the words of
the king and his lords
came
into the banquet house: and the queen spake and
said, O
king,
live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee,
nor
let
thy countenance be changed:
27:005:011 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom
is the spirit of the
holy
gods; and in the days of thy father light and
understanding
and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was
found
in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the
king,
I say, thy father, made master of the magicians,
astrologers,
Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
27:005:012 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge,
and
understanding,
interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard
sentences,
and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same
Daniel,
whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel
be
called,
and he will shew the interpretation.
27:005:013 Then was Daniel brought in before the king.
And the king spake
and
said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of
the
children
of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father
brought
out of Jewry?
27:005:014 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit
of the gods is in
thee,
and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom
is
found
in thee.
27:005:015 And now the wise men, the astrologers,
have been brought in
before
me, that they should read this writing, and make known
unto
me the interpretation thereof: but they could
not shew
the
interpretation of the thing:
27:005:016 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst
make
interpretations,
and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read
the
writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof,
thou
shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of
gold
about
thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
27:005:017 Then Daniel answered and said before the
king, Let thy gifts
be
to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I
will
read
the writing unto the king, and make known to him the
interpretation.
27:005:018 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar
thy father
a
kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
27:005:019 And for the majesty that he gave him, all
people, nations, and
languages,
trembled and feared before him: whom he would
he
slew;
and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would
he
set
up; and whom he would he put down.
27:005:020 But when his heart was lifted up, and his
mind hardened in
pride,
he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took
his
glory from him:
