And he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing and explain to me the meaning, he shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold for his neck and shall be a chief, third in rank, in my kingdom. ⁸ And when all the king's wise men came in and could neither read the writing nor explain the meaning to the king, ⁹ king Baltasar was agitated and his countenance changed, and his nobles were in like trepidation.
