Daniel 5:5-9

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)_.
