(Dan 5:1-6
KJV) Belshazzar the king made a great
feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. {2}
Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver
vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his
princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. {3} Then they
brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house
of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his
wives, and his concubines, drank in them. {4} They drank wine, and praised the
gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. {5} In the same hour came forth
fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the
plaster of the
wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. {6} Then the king's
countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of
his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
