Daniel 5:12 in Context — Daniel 5
10 La reine, à cause des paroles du roi et de ses grands, entra dans la salle du festin, et prit ainsi la parole: O roi, vis éternellement! Que tes pensées ne te troublent pas, et que ton visage ne change pas de couleur!
11 Il y a dans ton royaume un homme qui a en lui l’esprit des dieux saints; et du temps de ton père, on trouva chez lui des lumières, de l’intelligence, et une sagesse semblable à la sagesse des dieux. Aussi le roi Nebucadnetsar, ton père, le roi, ton père, l’établit chef des magiciens, des astrologues, des Chaldéens, des devins,
12 parce qu’on trouva chez lui, chez Daniel, nommé par le roi Beltschatsar, un esprit supérieur, de la science et de l’intelligence, la faculté d’interpréter les songes, d’expliquer les énigmes, et de résoudre les questions difficiles. Que Daniel soit donc appelé, et il donnera l’explication.
13 Alors Daniel fut introduit devant le roi. Le roi prit la parole et dit à Daniel: Es-tu ce Daniel, l’un des captifs de Juda, que le roi, mon père, a amenés de Juda?
14 J’ai appris sur ton compte que tu as en toi l’esprit des dieux, et qu’on trouve chez toi des lumières, de l’intelligence, et une sagesse extraordinaire.
