Daniel 5:7-9
7The king called aloud to bring in the 1conjurers, the 2Chaldeans and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Any man who can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me shall be 3clothed with purple and have a 4necklace of gold around his neck, and have authority as 56third ruler in the kingdom.” 8Then all the king’s wise men came in, but 7they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to the king. 9Then King Belshazzar was greatly 8alarmed, his 910face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.
