14 I have heard of you that the spirit of the gods
14 I've heard about you - that you're full of the Holy Spirit, that you've got a brilliant mind, that you are incredibly wise.
14 I have heard of you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
14 I have heard that you have the spirit of the gods within you and that you are filled with insight, understanding, and wisdom.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Daniel 5:14
Commentary on Daniel 5:10-17
(Read Daniel 5:10-17)
Daniel was forgotten at court; he lived privately, and was then ninety years of age. Many consult servants of God on curious questions, or to explain difficult subjects, but without asking the way of salvation, or the path of duty. Daniel slighted the offer of reward. He spoke to Belshazzar as to a condemned criminal. We should despise all the gifts and rewards this world can give, did we see, as we may by faith, its end hastening on; but let us do our duty in the world, and do it all the real service we can.
