1BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 1heldH5648 a greatH7229 2feastH3900 for a thousandH506 of his noblesH7261, and he was drinkingH8355 wineH2562 in the presenceH6903 of the thousandH506. 23While he tastedH2942 the wineH2562, BelshazzarH1113 gaveH560 ordersH560 to bringH858 the goldH1722 and silverH3702 4vesselsH3984 whichH1768 his 5fatherH2 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312 outH5312 of the templeH1965 whichH1768 was in JerusalemH3390, so that the kingH4430 and his noblesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904 could drinkH8355 out of them. 3ThenH116 they broughtH858 the goldH1722 vesselsH3984 that had been takenH5312 outH5312 of the templeH1965, the houseH1005 of GodH426 whichH1768 was in JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430 and his noblesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904 drankH8355 out of them. 4They 6drankH8355 the wineH2562 and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of 7goldH1722 and silverH3702, of bronzeH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69.

5SuddenlyH8160 the fingersH677 of a humanH606 handH3028 emergedH5312 and began writingH3790 oppositeH6903 the lampstandH5043 on the plasterH1528 of the wallH3797 of the king’sH4430 palaceH1965, and the kingH4430 sawH2370 the backH6447 of the handH3028 that did the writingH3790. 6ThenH116 the king’sH4430 89faceH2122 becameH8133 paleH8133 and his thoughtsH7476 alarmedH927 him, and his 10hipH2783 jointsH7001 11loosenedH8271 and his 12kneesH755 began knockingH5368 togetherH1668. 7The kingH4430 calledH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 inH5954 the 13sorcerersH826, the 14ChaldeansH3779, and the divinersH1505. The kingH4430 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895, “AnyoneH3606H606 whoH1768 can readH7123 thisH1836 inscriptionH3792 and explainH2331 its interpretationH6591 to me shall be 15clothedH3848 with purpleH711 and have a 16necklaceH2002 of goldH1722 aroundH5922 his neckH6676, and haveH7981 authorityH7981 as 17thirdH8533 ruler in the kingdomH4437.” 8ThenH116 allH3606 the king’sH4430 wiseH2445 menH2445 cameH5954 inH5954, but 18they couldH3546 not readH7123 the inscriptionH3792 or makeH3046 knownH3046 its interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430. 9ThenH116 KingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 was greatlyH7690 19alarmedH927, his 2021faceH2122 grewH8133 even more paleH8133, and his noblesH7261 were perplexedH7672.
