Daniel 5:1-31

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}
Then
<0116>
was Daniel
<01841>
brought in
<05954> (8717)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
[Art] thou
<0607>
that Daniel
<01841>_,
which [art] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
whom the king
<04430>
my father
<02>
brought
<0858> (8684)
out of
<04481>
Jewry
<03061>_?
{father: or, grandfather}
I have even heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee, that the spirit
<07308>
of the gods
<0426>
[is] in thee
<05922>_,
and [that] light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and excellent
<03493>
wisdom
<02452>
is found
<07912> (8728)
in thee.
And now
<03705>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
have been brought
<05954> (8717)
in before
<06925>
me, that they should read
<07123> (8748)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
shew
<02324> (8682)
the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
And I
<0576>
have heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee
<05922>_,
that thou canst
<03202> (8748)
make
<06590> (8749)
interpretations
<06591>_,
and dissolve
<08271> (8749)
doubts
<07001>_:
now
<03705>
if
<02006>
thou canst
<03202> (8748)
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
to me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, thou shalt be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
thy neck
<06676>_,
and shalt be the third
<08531>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{make interpretations: Chaldee, interpret, etc}
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
Let thy gifts
<04978>
be
<01934> (8748)
to thyself, and give
<03052> (8747)
thy rewards
<05023>
to another
<0321>_;
yet
<01297>
I will read
<07123> (8748)
the writing
<03792>
unto the king
<04430>_,
and make known
<03046> (8681)
to him the interpretation
<06591>_.
{rewards: or, fee}
O thou
<0607>
king
<04430>_,
the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
gave
<03052> (8754)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>
a kingdom
<04437>_,
and majesty
<07238>_,
and glory
<03367>_,
and honour
<01923>_:
And for
<04481>
the majesty
<07238>
that he gave
<03052> (8754)
him, all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
trembled
<01934> (8754) <02112>
and feared
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481>
him
<06925>_:
whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he slew
<01934> (8754) <06992> (8751)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he kept alive
<01934> (8754) <02418> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he set up
<01934> (8754) <07313> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he put down
<01934> (8754) <08214> (8683)_.
But when his heart
<03825>
was lifted up
<07313> (8752)_,
and his mind
<07308>
hardened
<08631> (8748)
in pride
<02103> (8682)_,
he was deposed
<05182> (8717)
from
<04481>
his kingly
<04437>
throne
<03764>_,
and they took
<05709> (8684)
his glory
<03367>
from him
<04481>_:
{in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Chaldee, made to come down}
And he was driven
<02957> (8752)
from
<04481>
the sons
<01123>
of men
<0606>_;
and his heart
<03825>
was made
<07739> (8745)
like
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>_,
and his dwelling
<04070>
[was] with the wild asses
<06167>_:
they fed
<02939> (8748)
him with grass
<06211>
like oxen
<08450>_,
and his body
<01655>
was wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_;
till
<05705>
he knew
<03046> (8754)
that the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
ruled
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and [that] he appointeth
<06966> (8681)
over
<05922>
it whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
{his heart...: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thou
<0607>
his son
<01247>_,
O Belshazzar
<01113>_,
hast not
<03809>
humbled
<08214> (8684)
thine heart
<03825>_,
though
<06903>
thou knewest
<03046> (8754)
all
<03606>
this
<01836>_;
But hast lifted up
<07313> (8712)
thyself against
<05922>
the Lord
<04756>
of heaven
<08065>_;
and they have brought
<0858> (8684)
the vessels
<03984>
of his house
<01005>
before
<06925>
thee, and thou
<0607>_,
and thy lords
<07261>_,
thy wives
<07695>_,
and thy concubines
<03904>_,
have drunk
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
in them; and thou hast praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of silver
<03702>_,
and gold
<01722>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
iron
<06523>_,
wood
<0636>_,
and stone
<069>_,
which see
<02370> (8751)
not
<03809>_,
nor
<03809>
hear
<08086> (8750)_,
nor
<03809>
know
<03046> (8751)_:
and the God
<0426>
in whose hand
<03028>
thy breath
<05396>
[is], and whose [are] all
<03606>
thy ways
<0735>_,
hast thou not
<03809>
glorified
<01922> (8745)_:
Then
<0116>
was the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
sent
<07972> (8750)
from
<04481>
him
<06925>_;
and this
<01836>
writing
<03792>
was written
<07560> (8752)_.
And this
<01836>
[is] the writing
<03792>
that was written
<07560> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_,
UPHARSIN
<06537> (8751)_.
This
<01836>
[is] the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
MENE
<04484> (8752)_;
God
<0426>
hath numbered
<04483> (8754)
thy kingdom
<04437>_,
and finished
<08000> (8684)
it.
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_;
Thou art weighed
<08625> (8760)
in the balances
<03977>_,
and art found
<07912> (8728)
wanting
<02627>_.
PERES
<06537> (8752)_;
Thy kingdom
<04437>
is divided
<06537> (8752)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_.
Then
<0116>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
and they clothed
<03848> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [put] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and made a proclamation
<03745> (8684)
concerning
<05922>
him, that he should be
<01934> (8748)
the third
<08531>
ruler
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
In that night
<03916>
was Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
of the Chaldeans
<03779>
slain
<06992> (8752)_.
And Darius
<01868>
the Median
<04077>
took
<06902> (8745)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
[being] about threescore
<08361>
and two
<08648>
years
<08140>
old
<01247>_.
{being...: Chaldee, he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
