Daniel 5:5-6

5Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the 1back of the hand that did the writing.

6Then the king’s 2 3face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his 4hip joints went slack and his 5knees began knocking together.
