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:
