¹⁷ Then answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts remain in thy possession, and bestow thy bounty on another: nevertheless will I read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. ¹⁸ O thou king! the most high God gave kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father; ¹⁹ And because of the greatness that he had given unto him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and shook before him: whom he pleased he slew; and whom he pleased he kept alive; and whom he pleased he lifted up; and whom he pleased he brought low. ²⁰ But, when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened to deal presumptuously, he was cast down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity did they take from him; ²¹ And from the sons of men was he driven forth, and his heart became equal with that of the beasts, and with the wild asses was his dwelling; they suffered him to eat herbs like oxen, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till he acknowledged that the most high God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he pleaseth. ²² And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this; ²³ But against the Lord of heaven hast thou lifted thyself up; and the vessels of his house have they brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and the gods of silver, and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know, hast thou praised; and the God in whose hand thy soul is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: ²⁴ Thereupon was sent from before him the part of the hand, and this writing was noted down. ²⁵ And this is the writing that was noted down, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, Upharsin. ²⁶ This the interpretation of the matter: M’ne, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it. ²⁷ T’kel, Thou least been weighed in the balances, and been found wanting. ²⁸ P’ress; Thy kingdom hath been divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians. ²⁹ Then gave Belshazzar the order, and they clothed Daniel with purple, with a chain of gold about his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as the third in the kingdom. ³⁰ In that very night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. ^{31 (6:1)} And Darius the Median obtained the kingdom, when he was sixty and two years old.

^{25 (22:24)} If thou lend money to my people, to the poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a lender of money; thou shalt not lay upon him usury.

⁷ Keep thyself far from a false speech; and him who hath been declared innocent and righteous thou shalt not slay; for I will not justify the wicked. ⁸ And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth the clear-sighted, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

³⁵ And if thy brother become poor, and fall in decay with thee: then shalt thou assist him, yea a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with thee. ³⁶ Thou shalt not take of him any usury or increase; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: that thy brother may live with thee. ³⁷ Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, and thou shalt not take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

^{19 (23:20)} Thou shalt not take interest from thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest: ^{20 (23:21)} From an alien thou mayest take interest; but from thy brother thou shalt not take interest; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the acquisition of thy hand, in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

² And there were some that said, Our sons, and our daughters, and ourselves are many; and we must buy corn, that we may eat, and live. ³ And others there were that said, We must pledge our fields, our vineyards, and our houses, that we may buy corn, in the famine. ⁴ And others there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards. ⁵ Yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brethren, our children are like their children: and, lo, we must force our sons and our daughters to become servants, and some of our daughters are forced to become so, and our hand is powerless; and our fields and our vineyards belong to others.

⁷ Then did I consult with my heart, and I upbraided the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, “Ye exact usury, every one of his brother!” And I brought together a great assembly against them. ⁸ And I said unto them, We have indeed ransomed our brethren the Jews, who had been sold unto the various nations, as far as our means went: and will ye yourselves even sell your brethren, so that they will be sold again unto us? And they remained silent, and found no answer. ⁹ Then said I, The thing is not good which ye are doing: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the taunting of the nations, our enemies? ¹⁰ And also I, my brothers, and my young men, have lent them money and corn: I pray you, let us relinquish this loan. ¹¹ Give back to them, I pray you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye have lent them. ¹² Then said they, We will give all back, and of them will we require nothing: so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and made them swear, that they would do in accordance with this promise. ¹³ Also my lap did I shake out, and said, So may God shake out every man that performeth not this promise, from his house and of his toil-gotten wealth, and so let him remain shaken out, and empty. And all the assembly said, Amen, and they praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise.

⁸ I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.

^{22 (55:23)} Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

³ Happy are those that observe justice, that execute righteousness at all times.

⁶ Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

³ A man cannot be firmly established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous will not be moved.

⁸ Upon interest he giveth not forth, and increase he doth not take, from wrong he withdraweth his hand, true judgment he executeth between man and man;

¹⁷ From the poor he withdraweth his hand, interest and increase he taketh not: my ordinances he executeth; in my statutes he walketh:—he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

²⁷ Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness which he hath committed, and executeth justice and righteousness: he shall indeed preserve his soul alive.

¹² Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.

³ For the evil of your hands you expect good? while the prince demandeth bribes, and the judge acteth for pay; and the great man is only speaking the wilful pleasure of his soul: and so do they make a network of wrong.
