Daniel 5:10-28

10Now the queenH4433, by reasonH6903 of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his lordsH7261, cameH5954 into the banquetH4961 houseH1005: and the queenH4433 spokeH6032 and saidH560, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: let notH409 thy thoughtsH7476 troubleH927 thee, nor let thy countenanceH2122 be changedH8133: 11There isH383 a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, was foundH7912 in him; whom the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, madeH6966 masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, astrologersH826, ChaldeansH3779, and soothsayersH1505;1 12Forasmuch asH6903H3606 an excellentH3493 spiritH7308, and knowledgeH4486, and understandingH7924, the interpretingH6590 of dreamsH2493, and declaringH263 of hard sentencesH280, and dissolvingH8271 of doubtsH7001, were foundH7912 in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH7761H8036 BelteshazzarH1096: nowH3705 let DanielH1841 be calledH7123, and he will showH2324 the interpretationH6591.234 13ThenH116 was DanielH1841 brought inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. And the kingH4430 spokeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, Art thouH607 that DanielH1841, who art ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858 out ofH4481 JudahH3061?5 14I have even heardH8086 of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in theeH5922, and that lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and excellentH3493 wisdomH2452 is foundH7912 in thee. 15And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, have been broughtH5954 in beforeH6925 me, that they should readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and make knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 of it: but they couldH3546 notH3809 showH2324 the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: 16And IH576 have heardH8086 of theeH5922, that thou canstH3202 makeH6590 interpretationsH6591, and dissolveH8271 doubtsH7001: nowH3705 ifH2006 thou canstH3202 readH7123 the writingH3792, and make knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 of it, thou shalt be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437.6 17ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934 to thyself, and giveH3052 thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123 the writingH3792 to the kingH4430, and make knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591.7 18O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923: 19And forH4481 the majestyH7238 that he gaveH3052 him, allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, trembledH1934H2112 and fearedH1763 beforeH4481 himH6925: whom he wouldH1934H6634 he slewH1934H6992; and whom he wouldH1934H6634 he kept aliveH1934H2418; and whom he wouldH1934H6634 he set upH1934H7313; and whom he wouldH1934H6634 he put downH1934H8214. 20But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481:89 21And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild donkeysH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomeverH4479 he willH6634.10 22And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thy heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836; 23But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, thou hast notH3809 glorifiedH1922: 24ThenH116 was the partH6447 of the handH3028 sentH7972 fromH4481 himH6925; and thisH1836 writingH3792 was writtenH7560. 25And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKELH8625, UPHARSINH6537. 26ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numberedH4483 thy kingdomH4437, and finishedH8000 it. 27TEKELH8625; Thou art weighedH8625 in the balancesH3977, and art foundH7912 wantingH2627. 28PERESH6537; Thy kingdomH4437 is dividedH6537, and givenH3052 to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.
