The Handwriting on the Wall
1
1King Belshazzar 2made a great feast for a thousand of his 3lords and drank wine in front of the thousand.
2
4Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that 5the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his fathera had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.
3
Then they brought in 6the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.
5
9Immediately 10the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw 11the hand as it wrote.
6
12Then the king's color changed, 13and his thoughts alarmed him; 14his limbs gave way, and 15his knees knocked together.
7
16The king called loudly to bring in 17the enchanters, the 18Chaldeans, and 19the astrologers. The king declaredb to the wise men of Babylon, 20"Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and 21shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
8
Then all the king's wise men came in, but 22they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.
9
Then King Belshazzar was greatly 23alarmed, and his 24color changed, and his 25lords were perplexed.
10
The queen,c because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall, and the queen declared, 26"O king, live forever! Let not your thoughts alarm you 27or your color change.
11
There is a man in your kingdom 28in whom is the spirit of the holy gods.d In the days of your father, 29light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him, and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father--your father the king--30made him chief of the magicians, 31enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers,
