"Art thou that Daniel who art of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my
grandfather brought from Judah? I have even heard of thee that the spirit
of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellence
are found in thee. 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 show the
interpretation of the thing. 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 shall be the third
ruler in the kingdom."
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 to the king, and make known unto him the interpretation.
"O thou king! the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, and
majesty, and glory, and honor. All people, nations and languages trembled
and feared before him.
