Dual Panel1Belshazzar <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>_.
2Belshazzar <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}
3Then <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.
4They 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>_.
5In 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)_.
6Then <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}
7The 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}
8Then <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.
9Then <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}
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)_:
11There 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}
12Forasmuch 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}
13Then <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}
14I 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.
15And 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>_:
16And 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}
17Then <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}
18O 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>_:
19And 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)_.
20But 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}
21And he was driven <02957> (8752) from <04481> the sons <01123> of men <0606>_; and his heart <03825> was made <07739> (8745) like <05974> the beasts <02423>_, and his dwelling <04070> [was] with the wild asses <06167>_: they fed <02939> (8748) him with grass <06211> like oxen <08450>_, and his body <01655> was wet <06647> (8721) with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>_; till <05705> he knew <03046> (8754) that the most high <05943> God <0426> ruled <07990> in the kingdom <04437> of men <0606>_, and [that] he appointeth <06966> (8681) over <05922> it whomsoever <04479> he will <06634> (8748)_. {his heart...: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
22And thou <0607> his son <01247>_, O Belshazzar <01113>_, hast not <03809> humbled <08214> (8684) thine heart <03825>_, though <06903> thou knewest <03046> (8754) all <03606> this <01836>_;
23But hast lifted up <07313> (8712) thyself against <05922> the Lord <04756> of heaven <08065>_; and they have brought <0858> (8684) the vessels <03984> of his house <01005> before <06925> thee, and thou <0607>_, and thy lords <07261>_, thy wives <07695>_, and thy concubines <03904>_, have drunk <08355> (8750) wine <02562> in them; and thou hast praised <07624> (8745) the gods <0426> of silver <03702>_, and gold <01722>_, of brass <05174>_, iron <06523>_, wood <0636>_, and stone <069>_, which see <02370> (8751) not <03809>_, nor <03809> hear <08086> (8750)_, nor <03809> know <03046> (8751)_: and the God <0426> in whose hand <03028> thy breath <05396> [is], and whose [are] all <03606> thy ways <0735>_, hast thou not <03809> glorified <01922> (8745)_:
24Then <0116> was the part <06447> of the hand <03028> sent <07972> (8750) from <04481> him <06925>_; and this <01836> writing <03792> was written <07560> (8752)_.
25And this <01836> [is] the writing <03792> that was written <07560> (8752)_, MENE <04484> (8752)_, MENE <04484> (8752)_, TEKEL <08625> (8752)_, UPHARSIN <06537> (8751)_.
26This <01836> [is] the interpretation <06591> of the thing <04406>_: MENE <04484> (8752)_; God <0426> hath numbered <04483> (8754) thy kingdom <04437>_, and finished <08000> (8684) it.
27TEKEL <08625> (8752)_; Thou art weighed <08625> (8760) in the balances <03977>_, and art found <07912> (8728) wanting <02627>_.
28PERES <06537> (8752)_; Thy kingdom <04437> is divided <06537> (8752)_, and given <03052> (8753) to the Medes <04076> and Persians <06540>_.
29Then <0116> commanded <0560> (8754) Belshazzar <01113>_, and they clothed <03848> (8684) Daniel <01841> with scarlet <0711>_, and [put] a chain <02002> of gold <01722> about <05922> his neck <06676>_, and made a proclamation <03745> (8684) concerning <05922> him, that he should be <01934> (8748) the third <08531> ruler <07990> in the kingdom <04437>_.
30In that night <03916> was Belshazzar <01113> the king <04430> of the Chaldeans <03779> slain <06992> (8752)_.
31And Darius <01868> the Median <04077> took <06902> (8745) the kingdom <04437>_, [being] about threescore <08361> and two <08648> years <08140> old <01247>_. {being...: Chaldee, he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
