DA-5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of
his lords, and
drank wine before the thousand.
DA-5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to
bring the golden
and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out
of the temple
which [was] in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his
wives, and his
concubines, might drink therein.
DA-5:3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out
of the temple
of the house of God which [was] at Jerusalem; and the king, and
his princes,
his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
DA-5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of
silver, of
brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
DA-5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and
wrote over
against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the
king's palace: and
the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
DA-5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his
thoughts troubled
him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
smote one
against another.
DA-5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and
the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise
[men] of Babylon,
Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the
interpretation thereof,
shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold about
his neck, and
shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
DA-5:8 Then came in all the king's wise [men]: but they could
not read the
writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
DA-5:9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his
countenance was
changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
DA-5:10 [Now] the queen by reason of the words of the king and
his lords came
into the banquet house: [and] the queen spake and said, O king,
live for ever:
let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be
changed:
DA-5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom [is] the spirit
of the holy
gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and
wisdom, like
the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king
Nebuchadnezzar thy
father, the king, [I say], thy father, made master of the
magicians,
astrologers, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers;
DA-5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and
understanding,
interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and
dissolving of
doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named
Belteshazzar: now
let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
DA-5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. [And] the
king spake and
said unto Daniel, [Art] thou that Daniel, which [art] of the
children of the
captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
DA-5:14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods

DA-5:15 And now the wise [men], the astrologers, have been
