Edified Edition (EDE)Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

Edified Edition (EDE)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.

Edified Edition (EDE)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.

Edified Edition (EDE)They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Edified Edition (EDE)In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Edified Edition (EDE)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.

Edified Edition (EDE)The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, "whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

Edified Edition (EDE)Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.

Edified Edition (EDE)Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, "O king, live forever: let not your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance be changed:"

Edified Edition (EDE)"There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;"

Edified Edition (EDE)"Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

Edified Edition (EDE)Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel, which are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?"
