H1113
Belshazzar
H4430
the king
H5648 [H8754]
made
H7229
a great
H3900
feast
H506
to a thousand
H7261
of his lords
H8355 [H8750]
, and drank
H2562
wine
H6903
before
H506
the thousand.
2
H1113
Belshazzar
H2942
, while he tasted
H2562
the wine
H560 [H8754]
, commanded
H858 [H8682]
to bring
H1722
the golden
H3702
and silver
H3984
vessels
H2
which his father
H5020
Nebuchadnezzar
H5312 [H8684]
had taken
H4481
out of
H1965
the temple
H3390
which was in Jerusalem
H4430
; that the king
H7261
, and his princes
H7695
, his wives
H3904
, and his concubines
H8355 [H8748]
, might drink in them.
3
H116
Then
H858 [H8684]
they brought
H1722
the golden
H3984
vessels
H5312 [H8684]
that were taken
H4481
out of
H1965
the temple
H1005
of the house
H426
of God
H3390
which was at Jerusalem
H4430
; and the king
H7261
, and his princes
H7695
, his wives
H3904
, and his concubines
H8355 [H8754]
, drank in them.
4
H8355 [H8754]
They drank
H2562
wine
H7624 [H8745]
, and praised
H426
the gods
H1722
of gold
H3702
, and of silver
H5174
, of brass
H6523
, of iron
H636
, of wood
H69
, and of stone.
5
H8160
In the same hour
H5312 [H8754]
came forth
H677
fingers
H606
of a man's
H3028
hand
H3790 [H8751]
, and wrote
H6903
opposite
H5043
the lampstand
H5922
upon
H1528
the plaster
H3797
of the wall
H4430
of the king's
H1965
palace
H4430
: and the king
H2370 [H8751]
saw
H6447
the part
H3028
of the hand
H3790 [H8751]
that wrote.
6
H116
Then
H4430
the king's
H2122
countenance
H8133 [H8754]
was changed
H7476
, and his thoughts
H927 [H8792]
troubled
H7001
him, so that the joints
H2783
of his loins
H8271 [H8723]
were loosed
H755
, and his knees
H5368 [H8750]
smote
H1668
one
H1668
against another.
7
H4430
The king
H7123 [H8748]
cried
H2429
aloud
H5954 [H8682]
to bring
H826
in the astrologers
H3779
, the Chaldeans
H1505 [H8750]
, and the soothsayers
H4430
. And the king
H6032 [H8750]
spoke
H560 [H8750]
, and said
H2445
to the wise
H895
men of Babylon
H606 H3606
, Whoever
H7123 [H8751]
shall read
H1836
this
H3792
writing
H2324 [H8741]
, and show
H6591
me the interpretation
H3848 [H8748]
of it, shall be clothed
H711
with scarlet
H2002
, and have a chain
H1722
of gold
H5922
about
H6676
his neck
H8523
, and shall be the third
H7981 [H8748]
ruler
H4437
in the kingdom.
8
H116
Then
H5954 [H8750]
came
H3606
in all
H4430
the king's
H2445
wise
H3546 [H8751]
men: but they could
H3809
not
H7123 [H8749]
read
H3792
the writing
H3046 [H8682]
, nor make known
H4430
to the king
H6591
the interpretation of it.
9
H116
Then
H4430
was the king
H1113
Belshazzar
H7690
greatly
H927 [H8727]
troubled
H2122
, and his countenance
H8133 [H8750]
was changed
H5922
in him
H7261
, and his lords
H7672 [H8723]
were confused.
10
H4433
Now the queen
H6903
, by reason
H4406
of the words
H4430
of the king
H7261
and his lords
H5954 [H8754]
, came
H4961
into the banquet
H1005
house
H4433
: and the queen
H6032 [H8754]
spoke
H560 [H8754]
and said
H4430
, O king
H2418 [H8747]
, live
H5957
for ever
H409
: let not
H7476
thy thoughts
H927 [H8792]
trouble
H2122
thee, nor let thy countenance
H8133 [H8721]
be changed:
11
H383
There is
H1400
a man
H4437
in thy kingdom
H7308
, in whom is the spirit
H6922
of the holy
H426
gods
H3118
; and in the days
H2
of thy father
H5094
light
H7924
and understanding
H2452
and wisdom
H2452
, like the wisdom
H426
of the gods
H7912 [H8728]
, was found
H4430
in him; whom the king
H5020
Nebuchadnezzar
H2
thy father
H4430
, the king
H2
, I say, thy father
H6966 [H8684]
, made
H7229
master
H2749
of the magicians
H826
, astrologers
H3779
, Chaldeans
H1505 [H8750]
, and soothsayers;
12
H6903 H3606
Forasmuch as
H3493
an excellent
H7308
spirit
H4486
, and knowledge
H7924
, and understanding
H6590 [H8743]
, the interpreting
H2493
of dreams
H263
, and declaring
H280
of hard sentences
H8271 [H8743]
, and dissolving
H7001
of doubts
H7912 [H8728]
, were found
H1841
in the same Daniel
H4430
, whom the king
H7761 H8036 [H8754]
named
H1096
Belteshazzar
H3705
: now
H1841
let Daniel
H7123 [H8729]
be called
H2324 [H8681]
, and he will show
H6591
the interpretation.
13
H116
Then
H1841
was Daniel
H5954 [H8717]
brought in
H6925
before
H4430
the king
H4430
. And the king
H6032 [H8750]
spoke
H560 [H8750]
and said
H1841
to Daniel
H607
, Art thou
H1841
that Daniel
H4481
, who art of
H1123
the children
H1547
of the captivity
H3061
of Judah
H4430
, whom the king
H2
my father
H858 [H8684]
brought
H4481
out of
H3061
Judah?
14
H8086 [H8754]
I have even heard
H7308
of thee, that the spirit
H426
of the gods
H5922
is in thee
H5094
, and that light
H7924
and understanding
H3493
and excellent
H2452
wisdom
H7912 [H8728]
is found in thee.
15
H3705
And now
H2445
the wise
H826
men, the astrologers
H5954 [H8717]
, have been brought
H6925
in before
H7123 [H8748]
me, that they should read
H1836
this
H3792
writing
H3046 [H8682]
, and make known
H6591
to me the interpretation
H3546 [H8751]
of it: but they could
H3809
not
H2324 [H8682]
show
H6591
the interpretation
H4406
of the thing:
16
H576
And I
H8086 [H8754]
have heard
H5922
of thee
H3202 [H8748]
, that thou canst
H6590 [H8749]
make
H6591
interpretations
H8271 [H8749]
, and dissolve
H7001
doubts
H3705
: now
H2006
if
H3202 [H8748]
thou canst
H7123 [H8749]
read
H3792
the writing
H3046 [H8682]
, and make known
H6591
to me the interpretation
H3848 [H8748]
of it, thou shalt be clothed
H711
with scarlet
H2002
, and have a chain
H1722
of gold
H5922
about
H6676
thy neck
H8531
, and shalt be the third
H7981 [H8748]
ruler
H4437
in the kingdom.
17
H116
Then
H1841
Daniel
H6032 [H8750]
answered
H560 [H8750]
and said
H6925
before
H4430
the king
H4978
, Let thy gifts
H1934 [H8748]
be
H3052 [H8747]
to thyself, and give
H5023
thy rewards
H321
to another
H1297
; yet
H7123 [H8748]
I will read
H3792
the writing
H4430
to the king
H3046 [H8681]
, and make known
H6591
to him the interpretation.
18
H607
O thou
H4430
king
H5943
, the most high
H426
God
H3052 [H8754]
gave
H5020
Nebuchadnezzar
H2
thy father
H4437
a kingdom
H7238
, and majesty
H3367
, and glory
H1923
, and honour:
19
H4481
And for
H7238
the majesty
H3052 [H8754]
that he gave
H3606
him, all
H5972
people
H524
, nations
H3961
, and languages
H1934 H2112 [H8754]
, trembled
H1763 [H8751]
and feared
H4481
before
H6925
him
H1934 H6634 [H8754]
: whom he would
H1934 H6992 [H8754]
he slew
H1934 H6634 [H8754]
; and whom he would
H1934 H2418 [H8754]
he kept alive
H1934 H6634 [H8754]
; and whom he would
H1934 H7313 [H8754]
he set up
H1934 H6634 [H8754]
; and whom he would
H1934 H8214 [H8754]
he put down.
20
H3825
But when his heart
H7313 [H8752]
was lifted up
H7308
, and his mind
H8631 [H8748]
hardened
H2103 [H8682]
in pride
H5182 [H8717]
, he was deposed
H4481
from
H4437
his kingly
H3764
throne
H5709 [H8684]
, and they took
H3367
his glory
H4481
from him:
21
H2957 [H8752]
And he was driven
H4481
from
H1123
the sons
H606
of men
H3825
; and his heart
H7739 [H8745]
was made
H5974
like
H2423
the beasts
H4070
, and his dwelling
H6167
was with the wild donkeys
H2939 [H8748]
: they fed
H6211
him with grass
H8450
like oxen
H1655
, and his body
H6647 [H8721]
was wet
H2920
with the dew
H8065
of heaven
H5705
; till
H3046 [H8754]
he knew
H5943
that the most high
H426
God
H7990
ruleth
H4437
in the kingdom
H606
of men
H6966 [H8681]
, and that he appointeth
H5922
over
H4479
it whomever
H6634 [H8748]
he will.
22
H607
And thou
H1247
his son
H1113
, O Belshazzar
H3809
, hast not
H8214 [H8684]
humbled
H3825
thy heart
H6903
, though
H3046 [H8754]
thou knewest
H3606
all
H1836
this;
23
H7313 [H8712]
But hast lifted up
H5922
thyself against
H4756
the Lord
H8065
of heaven
H858 [H8684]
; and they have brought
H3984
the vessels
H1005
of his house
H6925
before
H607
thee, and thou
H7261
, and thy lords
H7695
, thy wives
H3904
, and thy concubines
H8355 [H8750]
, have drunk
H2562
wine
H7624 [H8745]
in them; and thou hast praised
H426
the gods
H3702
of silver
H1722
, and gold
H5174
, of brass
H6523
, iron
H636
, wood
H69
, and stone
H2370 [H8751]
, which see
H3809
not
H3809
, nor
H8086 [H8750]
hear
H3809
, nor
H3046 [H8751]
know
H426
: and the God
H3028
in whose hand
H5396
thy breath
H3606
is, and whose are all
H735
thy ways
H3809
, thou hast not
H1922 [H8745]
glorified:
24
H116
Then
H6447
was the part
H3028
of the hand
H7972 [H8750]
sent
H4481
from
H6925
him
H1836
; and this
H3792
writing
H7560 [H8752]
was written.
25
H1836
And this
H3792
is the writing
H7560 [H8752]
that was written
H4484 [H8752]
, MENE
H4484 [H8752]
, MENE
H8625 [H8752]
, TEKEL
H6537 [H8751]
, UPHARSIN.
26
H1836
This
H6591
is the interpretation
H4406
of the thing
H4484 [H8752]
: MENE
H426
; God
H4483 [H8754]
hath numbered
H4437
thy kingdom
H8000 [H8684]
, and finished it.
27
H8625 [H8752]
TEKEL
H8625 [H8760]
; Thou art weighed
H3977
in the balances
H7912 [H8728]
, and art found
H2627
wanting.
28
H6537 [H8752]
PERES
H4437
; Thy kingdom
H6537 [H8752]
is divided
H3052 [H8753]
, and given
H4076
to the Medes
H6540
and Persians.
29
H116
Then
H560 [H8754]
commanded
H1113
Belshazzar
H3848 [H8684]
, and they clothed
H1841
Daniel
H711
with scarlet
H2002
, and put a chain
H1722
of gold
H5922
about
H6676
his neck
H3745 [H8684]
, and made a proclamation
H5922
concerning
H1934 [H8748]
him, that he should be
H8531
the third
H7990
ruler
H4437
in the kingdom.
