13Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah?”

14And I have heard about you that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and insight and extraordinary wisdom are found in you.

15And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought before me to read this writing and make its interpretation known to me, but they were not able to show the interpretation of the message.

16But I have heard about you that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficulties. Now, if you are able to read the writing and make its interpretation known to me, you shall be clothed with purple, and a chain of gold shall be put around your neck, and you shall rule as third in the kingdom.
