Daniel 4:8-9

8 At last Daniel came in before me—he who was named ^aBelteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is ^bthe spirit of the holy gods ^{▼▼Or Spirit of the holy God; also verses 9, 18}—and I told him the dream, saying, 9 “O Belteshazzar, ^dchief of the magicians, because I know that ^ethe spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no ^fmystery is too difficult for you, tell me ^gthe visions of my dream that I saw and their interpretation.

Daniel 4:18-19

18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O ^hBelteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because ⁱall the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for ^jthe spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

Daniel Interprets the Second Dream

19 Then Daniel, whose name was ^kBelteshazzar, was ^ldismayed for a while, and ^mhis thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, “Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, ⁿmay the dream be for those who hate you ^oand its interpretation for your enemies!
