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.
