Daniel 5:7 NLT

The king shouted for the enchanters, astrologers, and fortune-tellers to be brought before him.

He will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom!”

I am told that you can give interpretations and solve difficult problems. If you can read these words and tell me their meaning, you will be clothed in purple robes of royal honor, and you will have a gold chain placed around your neck. You will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”

Daniel 5:29 NLT

Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was dressed in purple robes, a gold chain was hung around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
