Belshazzar
the king
made
a great
feast
to a thousand
of his lords
,
and drank
wine
before
the thousand
.
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.
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.
4
They drank
wine
,
and praised
the gods
of gold
,
and of silver
,
of brass
,
of iron
,
of wood
,
and of stone
.
5
In the same hour
came forth
fingers
of a man's
hand
,
and wrote
over against
the candlestick
upon
the plaister
of the wall
of the king's
palace
:
and the king
saw
the part
of the
hand
that wrote
.
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.
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 shew
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
.
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.
9
Then
was king
Belshazzar
greatly
troubled
,
and his countenance
was changed
in him,
and his lords
were astonied
.
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
:
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
;
12
Forasmuch as
an excellent
spirit
,
and k
now
ledge
,
and understanding
,
interpreting
of dreams
,
and shewing
of hard sentences
,
and dissolving
of doubts
,
were found
in the same Daniel
,
whom
the king
named
Belteshazzar
:
now
let Daniel
be c
all
ed
, and he will shew
the interpretation
.
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
,
who
m
the king
my father
brought
out of Jewry?
14
I have even heard
of thee, that the spirit
of the gods
is
in thee,
and
that
light
and understanding
and excellent
wisdom
is found
in thee.
15
And now
the wise
men
, the astrologers,
have been brought
in before
me, that they should read
this
writing
,
and make known
unto me
the interpretation
thereof: but they could not shew
the interpretation
of the thing
:
16
And I
have heard
of thee
, that thou canst
make
interpretations
,
and dissolve
doubts
:
now
if
thou canst
read
the writing
,
and
make
known
to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed
with scarlet
, and
have
a chain
of gold
about
thy neck
,
and shalt be the third
ruler
in the kingdom
.
17
Then
Daniel
answered
and said
before
the king
,
Let thy gifts
be to thyself, and give
thy rewards
to another
;
yet
I will read
the writing
unto
the king
,
and make known
to him the interpretation
.
18
O thou
king
, the most high
God
gave
Nebuchadnezzar
thy father
a
king
dom
,
and majesty
,
and glory
,
and honour
:
19
And for
the majesty
that he gave
him
, all
people
,
nations
,
and languages
, trembled
and feared
before
him
: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
20
But
when
his heart
was lifted up
,
and his mind
hardened
in pride
,
he was deposed
from
his kingly
throne
,
and they took
his glory
from him:
21
And he was driven
from the sons
of men
;
and his heart
was made
like
the beasts
,
and his dwelling
was
with the wild asses
:
they fed
him with grass
like
oxen
,
and his body
was wet
with the dew
of heaven
;
till
he knew
that the most high
God
ruled
in the kingdom
of men
,
and
that
he appointeth
over
it whomsoever
he will
.
22
And thou
his son
,
O Belshazzar
, hast not
humbled
thine heart
,
though
thou knewest
all
this
;
23
But hast lifted up
thyself against
the Lord
of heaven
;
and they have brought
the vessels
of his house
before thee, and thou, and thy lords,
thy wives
,
and thy concubines
,
have drunk
wine
in them; and thou hast praised
the gods
of silver
,
and gold
,
of brass
,
iron
,
wood
,
and stone
,
which
see not, nor
hear
, nor
know
:
and the God
in
whose
hand
thy breath
is
, and
whose
are
all
thy ways
, hast thou not
glorified
:
24
Then
was the part
of the hand
sent
from him;
and this
writing
was written
.
25
And this
is
the writing
that was written
,
MENE
,
MENE
,
TEKEL
,
UPHARSIN
.
26
This
is
the interpretation
of the thing
:
MENE
;
God
hath numbered
thy kingdom
,
and finished
it.
27
TEKEL
;
Thou art weighed
in the balances
,
and art found
wanting
.
28
PERES
;
Thy kingdom
is divided
,
and given
to the Medes
and Persians
.
29
Then
commanded
Belshazzar
,
and they clothed
Daniel
with scarlet
, and
put
a chain
of gold
about
his neck
,
and made a proclamation
concerning
him, that he should be
the third
ruler
in the kingdom
.
30
In that night
was Belshazzar
the king
of the Chaldeans
slain
.
31
And Darius
the Median
took
the kingdom
,
being
about threescore
and two years
old
.
