And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
