Daniel 5:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ The king cried in a loud voice that they bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the fortune-tellers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold about his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

⁸ Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king its interpretation.

⁹ Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his colour was changed, and his princes were upset.
