Daniel 5:7-9
7The king called aloud to bring in the 1sorcerers, the 2Chaldeans, and the diviners. The king began speaking and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Anyone 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 5third ruler in the kingdom.” 8Then all the king’s wise men came in, but 6they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to the king. 9Then King Belshazzar was greatly 7alarmed, his 89face grew even more pale, and his nobles were perplexed.
