Daniel 5:17 in Context — Daniel 5
15 E agora foram trazidos diante de mim sábios e astrólogos, para que lessem esta escritura, e me fizessem saber sua interpretação; mas eles não puderam mostrar a interpretação destas palavras.
16 Eu, porém, tenho ouvido sobre ti que podes dar interpretações, e solucionar dúvidas. Agora, se puderes puderes ler esta escritura, e fazer-me saber sua interpretação, serás vestido de púrpura, corrente de ouro terás em teu pescoço, e serás o terceiro líder no reino.
17 Então Daniel respondeu, e disse diante do rei: Fiquem contigo tuas dádivas, e dá teus presentes a outro; contudo lerei a escritura ao rei, e lhe farei saber a interpretação.
18 Quanto a ti, ó rei, o Deus Altíssimo deu a teu pai Nabucodonosor o reino, a grandeza, a glória, e a majestade;
19 E pela grandeza que ele lhe deu, todos os povos, nações, e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele. Ele matava a quem queria, e concedia vida a quem queria; ele engrandecia a quem queria, e abatia a quem queria.
