³ See, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which is deeper than your knowledge:

¹¹ There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;

¹² Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing.

²⁰ And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.

²² He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.

² As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.

³ And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.

⁴⁷ And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.

⁴⁸ Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.

²⁷ Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;

²⁸ But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:

¹⁴ The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

⁸ Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

³ And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

²⁹ And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.

³⁰ And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹ For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

³² He was the maker of three thousand wise sayings, and of songs to the number of a thousand and five.
