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;

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.

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.

Then shall stand up In his estate a raiser of taxes In the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither In anger, nor In battle.

And In his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come In peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
