27:004:035 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: 
           and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and
           among the inhabitants of the earth:  and none can stay his
           hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

27:004:036 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory
           of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me;
           and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was
           established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added
           unto me.

27:004:037 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of
           heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment:  and
           those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

27:005:001 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his
           lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

27:005:002 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.

27:005:003 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.

27:005:004 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver,
           of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

27:005:005 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.

27:005:006 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.

27:005:007 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
           Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.  And the king spake, and said
           to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing,
           and shew 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.

27:005:008 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.

27:005:009 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance
           was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
