5:2 While under the influence
of the wine, Belshazzar issued an order to bring in the gold and silver vessels – the ones that Nebuchadnezzar his father

5:3 So they brought the gold and silver
vessels that had been confiscated from the temple, the house of God
in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, together with his wives and concubines, drank from them.
