Daniel 5:4-9

4They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69.

5In the same hourH8160 came forthH5312 fingersH677 of a man’sH606 handH3028, and wroteH3790 over againstH6903 the candlestickH5043 uponH5922 the plaisterH1528 of the wallH3797 of the king’sH4430 palaceH1965: and the kingH4430 sawH2370 the partH6447 of the handH3028 that wroteH3790. 6ThenH116 the king’sH4430 countenanceH2122 was changedH8133, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him, so that the jointsH7001 of his loinsH2783 were loosedH8271, and his kneesH755 smoteH5368 oneH1668 against anotherH1668.123 7The kingH4430 criedH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, WhosoeverH3606H606 shall readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437.45 8ThenH116 cameH5954 in allH3606 the king’sH4430 wiseH2445 men: but they couldH3546 notH3809 readH7123 the writingH3792, nor make knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591 thereof. 9ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatlyH7690 troubledH927, and his countenanceH2122 was changedH8133 in himH5922, and his lordsH7261 were astoniedH7672.6
