Daniel 5:3-6

3Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines drank out of them. 4They 1drank the wine and praised the gods of 2gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5Suddenly the fingers of a human hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing. 6Then the king’s 34face became pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his 5hip joints 6loosened and his 7knees began knocking together.
