 | 5:1 | Belshazzar1113 the king4430 made5648 a great7229 feast3900 to a thousand506 of his princes,7261 and drank8355 wine2562 before6903 the thousand.506 |
| 5:2 | Belshazzar,1113 whiles he tasted2942 the wine,2562 commanded560 to bring858 the golden1722 and silver3702 vessels3984 which his father2 Nebuchadnezzar5020 had taken out5312 of4481 the temple1965 which was in Jerusalem;3390 that the king,4430 and his princes,7261 his wives,7695 and his concubines,3904 might drink8355 therein. |
| 5:3 | Then116 they brought858 the golden1722 vessels3984 that were taken out5312 of4481 the temple1965 of the house1005 of Elah426 which was at Jerusalem;3390 and the king,4430 and his princes,7261 his wives,7695 and his concubines,3904 drank8355 in them. |
| 5:4 | They drank8355 wine,2562 and praised7624 the mighty ones426 of gold,1722 and of silver,3702 of brass,5174 of iron,6523 of wood,636 and of stone.69 |
| 5:5 | In the same hour8160 came forth5312 fingers677 of a man's606 hand,3028 and wrote3790 over against6903 the candlestick5043 upon5922 the plaister1528 of the wall3797 of the king's4430 palace:1965 and the king4430 saw2370 the part6447 of the hand3028 that wrote.3790 |
| 5:6 | Then116 the king's4430 countenance2122 was changed,8133 and his thoughts7476 troubled927 him, so that the joints7001 of his loins2783 were loosed,8271 and his knees755 smote5368 one1668 against another.1668 |
| 5:7 | The king4430 cried7123 aloud2429 to bring in5954 the astrologers,826 the Chaldeans,3779 and the soothsayers.1505 And the king4430 spake,6032 and said560 to the wise2445 men of Babylon,895 Whosoever606 shall read7123 this1836 writing,3792 and shew2324 me the interpretation6591 thereof, shall be clothed3848 with scarlet,711 and have a chain2002 of gold1722 about5922 his neck,6676 and shall be the third8523 ruler7981 in the kingdom.4437 |
| 5:8 | Then116 came in5954 all3606 the king's4430 wise2445 men: but they could3546 not3809 read7123 the writing,3792 nor make known3046 to the king4430 the interpretation6591 thereof. |
| 5:9 | Then116 was king4430 Belshazzar1113 greatly7690 troubled,927 and his countenance2122 was changed8133 in him,5922 and his princes7261 were astonied.7672 |
| 5:10 | Now the queen,4433 by reason6903 of the words4406 of the king4430 and his princes,7261 came5954 into the banquet4961 house:1005 and the queen4433 spake6032 and said,560 O king,4430 live2418 for ever:5957 let not409 thy thoughts7476 trouble927 thee, nor409 let thy countenance2122 be changed:8133 |
| 5:11 | There is383 a man1400 in thy kingdom,4437 in whom is the spirit7308 of the 6922 mighty ones;426 and in the days3118 of thy father2 light5094 and understanding7924 and wisdom,2452 like the wisdom2452 of the mighty ones,426 was found7912 in him; whom the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 thy father,2 the king,4430 I say, thy father,2 made6966 master7229 of the magicians,2749 astrologers,826 Chaldeans,3779 and soothsayers;1505 |
| 5:12 | Forasmuch as6903 an excellent3493 spirit,7308 and knowledge,4486 and understanding,7924 interpreting6590 of dreams,2493 and shewing263 of hard sentences,280 and dissolving8271 of doubts,7001 were found7912 in the same Daniel,1841 whom the king4430 named7761 Belteshazzar:1096 now3705 let Daniel1841 be called,7123 and he will shew2324 the interpretation.6591 |
| 5:13 | Then116 was Daniel1841 brought in5954 before6925 the king.4430 And the king4430 spake6032 and said560 unto Daniel,1841 Art thou607 that Daniel,1841 which art of4481 the children1123 of the captivity1547 of Judah,3061 whom the king4430 my father2 brought858 out of4481 Jewry?3061 |
| 5:14 | I have even heard8086 of thee,5922 that the spirit7308 of the mighty ones426 is in thee, and that light5094 and understanding7924 and excellent3493 wisdom2452 is found7912 in thee. |
| 5:15 | And now3705 the wise2445 men, the astrologers,826 have been brought in5954 before6925 me, that they should read7123 this1836 writing,3792 and make known3046 unto me the interpretation6591 thereof: but they could3546 not3809 shew2324 the interpretation6591 of the thing:4406 |
| 5:16 | And I576 have heard8086 of thee,5922 that thou canst3202 make6590 interpretations,6591 and dissolve8271 doubts:7001 now3705 if2006 thou canst3202 read7123 the writing,3792 and make known3046 to me the interpretation6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothed3848 with scarlet,711 and have a chain2002 of gold1722 about5922 thy neck,6676 and shalt be the third8531 ruler7981 in the kingdom.4437 |
| 5:17 | Then116 Daniel1841 answered6032 and said560 before6925 the king,4430 Let thy gifts4978 be1934 to thyself, and give3052 thy rewards5023 to another;321 yet1297 I will read7123 the writing3792 unto the king,4430 and make known3046 to him the interpretation.6591 |
| 5:18 | O thou607 king,4430 the most high5943 Elah426 gave3052 Nebuchadnezzar5020 thy father2 a kingdom,4437 and majesty,7238 and glory,3367 and honour:1923 |
| 5:19 | And for4481 the majesty7238 that he gave3052 him, all3606 people,5972 nations,524 and languages,3961 trembled1934 and feared1763 before4481 him: whom he would1934 he slew;1934 and whom he would1934 he kept1934 alive;2418 and whom he would1934 he set1934 up;7313 and whom he would1934 he put1934 down.8214 |
| 5:20 | But when his heart3825 was lifted up,7313 and his mind7308 hardened8631 in pride,2103 he was deposed5182 from4481 his kingly4437 throne,3764 and they took5709 his glory3367 from him:4481 |
| 5:21 | And he was driven2957 from4481 the sons1123 of men;606 and his heart3825 was made7739 like5974 the beasts,2423 and his dwelling4070 was with5974 the wild donkeys:6167 they fed2939 him with grass6211 like oxen,8450 and his body1655 was wet6647 with the dew2920 of heaven;8065 till5705 he knew3046 that the most high5943 Elah426 ruled7990 in the kingdom4437 of men,606 and that he appointeth6966 over5922 it whomsoever4479 he will.6634 |
| 5:22 | And thou607 his son,1247 O Belshazzar,1113 hast not3809 humbled8214 thine heart,3825 though6903 thou knewest3046 all3606 this;1836 |
| 5:23 | But hast lifted up7313 thyself against5922 the Master4756 of heaven;8065 and they have brought858 the vessels3984 of his house1005 before6925 thee, and thou,607 and thy princes,7261 thy wives,7695 and thy concubines,3904 have drunk8355 wine2562 in them; and thou hast praised7624 the mighty ones426 of silver,3702 and gold,1722 of brass,5174 iron,6523 wood,636 and stone,69 which see2370 not,3809 nor3809 hear,8086 nor3809 know:3046 and the Elah426 in whose hand3028 thy breath5396 is, and whose are all3606 thy ways,735 hast thou not3809 glorified:1922 |
| 5:24 | Then116 was the part6447 of the hand3028 sent7972 from4481 him; and this1836 writing3792 was written.7560 |
| 5:25 | And this1836 is the writing3792 that was written,7560 MENE,4484 MENE,4484 TEKEL,8625 UPHARSIN.6537 |
| 5:26 | This1836 is the interpretation6591 of the thing:4406 MENE;4484 Elah426 hath numbered4483 thy kingdom,4437 and finished8000 it. |
| 5:27 | TEKEL;8625 Thou art weighed8625 in the balances,3977 and art found7912 wanting.2627 |
| 5:28 | PERES;6537 Thy kingdom4437 is divided,6537 and given3052 to the Medes4076 and Persians.6540 |
| 5:29 | Then116 commanded560 Belshazzar,1113 and they clothed3848 Daniel1841 with scarlet,711 and put a chain2002 of gold1722 about5922 his neck,6676 and made a proclamation3745 concerning5922 him, that he should be1934 the third8531 ruler7990 in the kingdom.4437 |
| 5:30 | In that night3916 was Belshazzar1113 the king4430 of the Chaldeans3778 slain.6992 |
| 5:31 | And Darius1868 the Median4077 took6902 the kingdom,4437 being about threescore8361 and two8648 years8140 old.1247 |
