5 aIn the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his aknees knocked against each other.
7 aThe king cried1 aloud to bring in bthe astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck; cand he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
8 Now all the king’s wise men came, abut they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly atroubled, his countenance was changed, and his lords were1 astonished.
