Daniel 5:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ He turned pale and was so frightened that his knees began to shake. ⁷ He shouted for someone to bring in the magicians, wizards, and astrologers. When they came in, the king said to them, “Anyone who can read this writing and tell me what it means will be dressed in robes of royal purple, wear a gold chain of honor around his neck, and be the third in power in the kingdom.” ⁸ The royal advisers came forward, but none of them could read the writing or tell the king what it meant.
