Daniel 5:1-20

5:1

Belshazzar
<01113>

the king
<04430>

made
<05648> (8754)

a great
<07229>

feast
<03900>

to a thousand
<0506>

of his lords
<07261>_,

and drank
<08355> (8750)

wine
<02562>

before
<06903>

the thousand
<0506>_.

5:2

Belshazzar
<01113>_,

whiles he tasted
<02942>

the wine
<02562>_,

commanded
<0560> (8754)

to bring
<0858> (8682)

the golden
<01722>

and silver
<03702>

vessels
<03984>

which his father
<02>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

had taken
<05312> (8684)

out of
<04481>

the temple
<01965>

which [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_;

that the king
<04430>_,

and his princes
<07261>_,

his wives
<07695>_,

and his concubines
<03904>_,

might drink
<08355> (8748)

therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Chaldee, brought forth}

5:3

Then
<0116>

they brought
<0858> (8684)

the golden
<01722>

vessels
<03984>

that were taken
<05312> (8684)

out of
<04481>

the temple
<01965>

of the house
<01005>

of God
<0426>

which [was] at Jerusalem
<03390>_;

and the king
<04430>_,

and his princes
<07261>_,

his wives
<07695>_,

and his concubines
<03904>_,

drank
<08355> (8754)

in them.

5:4

They drank
<08355> (8754)

wine
<02562>_,

and praised
<07624> (8745)

the gods
<0426>

of gold
<01722>_,

and of silver
<03702>_,

of brass
<05174>_,

of iron
<06523>_,

of wood
<0636>_,

and of stone
<069>_.

5:5

In the same hour
<08160>

came forth
<05312> (8754)

fingers
<0677>

of a man's
<0606>

hand
<03028>_,

and wrote
<03790> (8751)

over against
<06903>

the candlestick
<05043>

upon
<05922>

the plaister
<01528>

of the wall
<03797>

of the king's
<04430>

palace
<01965>_:

and the king
<04430>

saw
<02370> (8751)

the part
<06447>

of the hand
<03028>

that wrote
<03790> (8751)_.

5:6

Then
<0116>

the king's
<04430>

countenance
<02122>

was changed
<08133> (8754)_,

and his thoughts
<07476>

troubled
<0927> (8792)

him, so that the joints
<07001>

of his loins
<02783>

were loosed
<08271> (8723)_,

and his knees
<0755>

smote
<05368> (8750)

one
<01668>

against another
<01668>_.

{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses} {was changed: Chaldee, changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Chaldee, bindings, or, knots}

5:7

The king
<04430>

cried
<07123> (8748)

aloud
<02429>

to bring
<05954> (8682)

in the astrologers
<0826>_,

the Chaldeans
<03779>_,

and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_.

[And] the king
<04430>

spake
<06032> (8750)_,

and said
<0560> (8750)

to the wise
<02445>

[men] of Babylon
<0895>_,

Whosoever
<0606> <03606>

shall read
<07123> (8751)

this
<01836>

writing
<03792>_,

and shew
<02324> (8741)

me the interpretation
<06591>

thereof, shall be clothed
<03848> (8748)

with scarlet
<0711>_,

and [have] a chain
<02002>

of gold
<01722>

about
<05922>

his neck
<06676>_,

and shall be the third
<08523>

ruler
<07981> (8748)

in the kingdom
<04437>_.

{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {scarlet: or, purple}

5:8

Then
<0116>

came
<05954> (8750)

in all
<03606>

the king's
<04430>

wise
<02445>

[men]: but they could
<03546> (8751)

not
<03809>

read
<07123> (8749)

the writing
<03792>_,

nor make known
<03046> (8682)

to the king
<04430>

the interpretation
<06591>

thereof.

5:9

Then
<0116>

was king
<04430>

Belshazzar
<01113>

greatly
<07690>

troubled
<0927> (8727)_,

and his countenance
<02122>

was changed
<08133> (8750)

in him
<05922>_,

and his lords
<07261>

were astonied
<07672> (8723)_.

{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses}

5:10

[Now] the queen
<04433>_,

by reason
<06903>

of the words
<04406>

of the king
<04430>

and his lords
<07261>_,

came
<05954> (8754)

into the banquet
<04961>

house
<01005>_:

[and] the queen
<04433>

spake
<06032> (8754)

and said
<0560> (8754)_,

O king
<04430>_,

live
<02418> (8747)

for ever
<05957>_:

let not
<0409>

thy thoughts
<07476>

trouble
<0927> (8792)

thee, nor let thy countenance
<02122>

be changed
<08133> (8721)_:

5:11

There is
<0383>

a man
<01400>

in thy kingdom
<04437>_,

in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>

of the holy
<06922>

gods
<0426>_;

and in the days
<03118>

of thy father
<02>

light
<05094>

and understanding
<07924>

and wisdom
<02452>_,

like the wisdom
<02452>

of the gods
<0426>_,

was found
<07912> (8728)

in him; whom the king
<04430>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

thy father
<02>_,

the king
<04430>_,

[I say], thy father
<02>_,

made
<06966> (8684)

master
<07229>

of the magicians
<02749>_,

astrologers
<0826>_,

Chaldeans
<03779>_,

[and] soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_;

{father: or, grandfather}

5:12

Forasmuch as
<06903> <03606>

an excellent
<03493>

spirit
<07308>_,

and knowledge
<04486>_,

and understanding
<07924>_,

interpreting
<06590> (8743)

of dreams
<02493>_,

and shewing
<0263>

of hard sentences
<0280>_,

and dissolving
<08271> (8743)

of doubts
<07001>_,

were found
<07912> (8728)

in the same Daniel
<01841>_,

whom the king
<04430>

named
<07761> (8754) <08036>

Belteshazzar
<01096>_:

now
<03705>

let Daniel
<01841>

be called
<07123> (8729)_,

and he will shew
<02324> (8681)

the interpretation
<06591>_.

{interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Chaldee, knots}

5:13

Then
<0116>

was Daniel
<01841>

brought in
<05954> (8717)

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_.

[And] the king
<04430>

spake
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto Daniel
<01841>_,

[Art] thou
<0607>

that Daniel
<01841>_,

which [art] of
<04481>

the children
<01123>

of the captivity
<01547>

of Judah
<03061>_,

whom the king
<04430>

my father
<02>

brought
<0858> (8684)

out of
<04481>

Jewry
<03061>_?

{father: or, grandfather}

5:14

I have even heard
<08086> (8754)

of thee, that the spirit
<07308>

of the gods
<0426>

[is] in thee
<05922>_,

and [that] light
<05094>

and understanding
<07924>

and excellent
<03493>

wisdom
<02452>

is found
<07912> (8728)

in thee.

5:15

And now
<03705>

the wise
<02445>

[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,

have been brought
<05954> (8717)

in before
<06925>

me, that they should read
<07123> (8748)

this
<01836>

writing
<03792>_,

and make known
<03046> (8682)

unto me the interpretation
<06591>

thereof: but they could
<03546> (8751)

not
<03809>

shew
<02324> (8682)

the interpretation
<06591>

of the thing
<04406>_:

5:16

And I
<0576>

have heard
<08086> (8754)

of thee
<05922>_,

that thou canst
<03202> (8748)

make
<06590> (8749)

interpretations
<06591>_,

and dissolve
<08271> (8749)

doubts
<07001>_:

now
<03705>

if
<02006>

thou canst
<03202> (8748)

read
<07123> (8749)

the writing
<03792>_,

and make known
<03046> (8682)

to me the interpretation
<06591>

thereof, thou shalt be clothed
<03848> (8748)

with scarlet
<0711>_,

and [have] a chain
<02002>

of gold
<01722>

about
<05922>

thy neck
<06676>_,

and shalt be the third
<08531>

ruler
<07981> (8748)

in the kingdom
<04437>_.

{make interpretations: Chaldee, interpret, etc}

5:17

Then
<0116>

Daniel
<01841>

answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_,

Let thy gifts
<04978>

be
<01934> (8748)

to thyself, and give
<03052> (8747)

thy rewards
<05023>

to another
<0321>_;

yet
<01297>

I will read
<07123> (8748)

the writing
<03792>

unto the king
<04430>_,

and make known
<03046> (8681)

to him the interpretation
<06591>_.

{rewards: or, fee}

5:18

O thou
<0607>

king
<04430>_,

the most high
<05943>

God
<0426>

gave
<03052> (8754)

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

thy father
<02>

a kingdom
<04437>_,

and majesty
<07238>_,

and glory
<03367>_,

and honour
<01923>_:

5:19

And for
<04481>

the majesty
<07238>

that he gave
<03052> (8754)

him, all
<03606>

people
<05972>_,

nations
<0524>_,

and languages
<03961>_,

trembled
<01934> (8754) <02112>

and feared
<01763> (8751)

before
<04481>

him
<06925>_:

whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)

he slew
<01934> (8754) <06992> (8751)_;

and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)

he kept alive
<01934> (8754) <02418> (8683)_;

and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)

he set up
<01934> (8754) <07313> (8683)_;

and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)

he put down
<01934> (8754) <08214> (8683)_.

5:20

But when his heart
<03825>

was lifted up
<07313> (8752)_,

and his mind
<07308>

hardened
<08631> (8748)

in pride
<02103> (8682)_,

he was deposed
<05182> (8717)

from
<04481>

his kingly
<04437>

throne
<03764>_,

and they took
<05709> (8684)

his glory
<03367>

from him
<04481>_:

{in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Chaldee, made to come down}
