Daniel 5:12 in Context — Daniel 5
10 A rainha, por causa das palavras do rei e de seus maiorais, entrou na casa do banquete. A rainha disse: Ó rei, vive para sempre! Não te perturbem teus pensamentos, nem se mude teu semblante.
11 Em teu reino há um homem no qual mora o espírito dos deuses santos; e nos dias de teu pai se achou nele luz, inteligência e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pai, o rei Nabucodonosor (o rei, teu pai), o constituiu por príncipe sobre os magos, os astrólogos, os caldeus e os adivinhadores.
12 Pois nele foi achado um espírito extraordinário, conhecimento, e entendimento, interpretando sonhos, resolvendo enigmas, e desfazendo dúvidas. Ele é Daniel, a quem o rei pôs por nome Beltessazar. Chame-se agora a Daniel, e ele mostrará a interpretação.
13 Então Daniel foi trazido diante do rei. E o rei disse a Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel dos cativos de Judá, que meu pai trouxe de Judá?
14 Pois tenho ouvido de ti que o espírito dos deuses está em ti, e que em ti se acha luz, entendimento e extraordinária sabedoria.
