Daniel 5:4-9

4They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praised the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brass, of ironH6523, of wood, and of stoneH69.

5In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man’sH606 handH3028, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’sH4430 palaceH1965: and the kingH4430 sawH2370 the part of the handH3028 that wrote. 6ThenH116 the king’sH4430 countenance was changedH8133 in him, and his thoughtsH7476 troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote oneH1668 against another. 7The kingH4430 cried aloud to bringH5954 in the enchanters, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayers. The kingH4430 spake and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, Whosoever shall readH7123 this writing, and show me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of goldH1722 about his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. 8ThenH116 came in all the king’sH4430 wiseH2445 men; but they could not readH7123 the writing, nor makeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591. 9ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatly troubled, and his countenance was changedH8133 in him, and his lords were perplexed.
