Daniel 5:1-7 דניאל ה׳:א׳-ז׳

Belshazzar the king [(Nevuchadnezzar's son)] made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

Belshazzar, in his cups, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nevuchadnezzar had taken out of the Temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his queen and his concubines might drink from them.

Then were brought the golden vessels that they had taken out of the Temple of the house of G-d, which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his queen and his concubines, drank from them.

They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

In the same hour, the fingers of a man's hand went forth [from heaven], and wrote over against the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Then the king's appearance changed, and his thoughts terrified him, so that the belt of his loins was loosed [(his bowels being emptied in his fear)], and his knees smote one against the other.

The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Kasdim, and the snake charmers. And the king spoke and said to the wise men of Bavel: Whoever shall read this writing and declare to me the meaning of it shall be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule over a third of the kingdom.
