Daniel 5:1-12

Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
a great
<07229>
feast
<03900>
to a thousand
<0506>
of his lords
<07261>_,
and drank
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
before
<06903>
the thousand
<0506>_.
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
whiles he tasted
<02942>
the wine
<02562>_,
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
the golden
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
vessels
<03984>
which his father
<02>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
which [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_;
that the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
might drink
<08355> (8748)
therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Chaldee, brought forth}
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8684)
the golden
<01722>
vessels
<03984>
that were taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [was] at Jerusalem
<03390>_;
and the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
drank
<08355> (8754)
in them.
They drank
<08355> (8754)
wine
<02562>_,
and praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of gold
<01722>_,
and of silver
<03702>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
of iron
<06523>_,
of wood
<0636>_,
and of stone
<069>_.
In the same hour
<08160>
came forth
<05312> (8754)
fingers
<0677>
of a man's
<0606>
hand
<03028>_,
and wrote
<03790> (8751)
over against
<06903>
the candlestick
<05043>
upon
<05922>
the plaister
<01528>
of the wall
<03797>
of the king's
<04430>
palace
<01965>_:
and the king
<04430>
saw
<02370> (8751)
the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
that wrote
<03790> (8751)_.
Then
<0116>
the king's
<04430>
countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8754)_,
and his thoughts
<07476>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
him, so that the joints
<07001>
of his loins
<02783>
were loosed
<08271> (8723)_,
and his knees
<0755>
smote
<05368> (8750)
one
<01668>
against another
<01668>_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses} {was changed: Chaldee, changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Chaldee, bindings, or, knots}
The king
<04430>
cried
<07123> (8748)
aloud
<02429>
to bring
<05954> (8682)
in the astrologers
<0826>_,
the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_,
Whosoever
<0606> <03606>
shall read
<07123> (8751)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and shew
<02324> (8741)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, shall be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and shall be the third
<08523>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
Then
<0116>
came
<05954> (8750)
in all
<03606>
the king's
<04430>
wise
<02445>
[men]: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
nor make known
<03046> (8682)
to the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
Then
<0116>
was king
<04430>
Belshazzar
<01113>
greatly
<07690>
troubled
<0927> (8727)_,
and his countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8750)
in him
<05922>_,
and his lords
<07261>
were astonied
<07672> (8723)_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses}
[Now] the queen
<04433>_,
by reason
<06903>
of the words
<04406>
of the king
<04430>
and his lords
<07261>_,
came
<05954> (8754)
into the banquet
<04961>
house
<01005>_:
[and] the queen
<04433>
spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
let not
<0409>
thy thoughts
<07476>
trouble
<0927> (8792)
thee, nor let thy countenance
<02122>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
There is
<0383>
a man
<01400>
in thy kingdom
<04437>_,
in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>_;
and in the days
<03118>
of thy father
<02>
light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and wisdom
<02452>_,
like the wisdom
<02452>
of the gods
<0426>_,
was found
<07912> (8728)
in him; whom the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>_,
the king
<04430>_,
[I say], thy father
<02>_,
made
<06966> (8684)
master
<07229>
of the magicians
<02749>_,
astrologers
<0826>_,
Chaldeans
<03779>_,
[and] soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_;
{father: or, grandfather}
Forasmuch as
<06903> <03606>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>_,
and knowledge
<04486>_,
and understanding
<07924>_,
interpreting
<06590> (8743)
of dreams
<02493>_,
and shewing
<0263>
of hard sentences
<0280>_,
and dissolving
<08271> (8743)
of doubts
<07001>_,
were found
<07912> (8728)
in the same Daniel
<01841>_,
whom the king
<04430>
named
<07761> (8754) <08036>
Belteshazzar
<01096>_:
now
<03705>
let Daniel
<01841>
be called
<07123> (8729)_,
and he will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Chaldee, knots}
