Bible. Daniel
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

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:
27:005:021 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made
like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses:
they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with
the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled
in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it
whomsoever he will.
27:005:022 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart,
though thou knewest all this;
