acv@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

acv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, m

acv@Daniel:5:3 @ 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 lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.

acv@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

acv@Daniel:5:5 @ In the same hour the fingers of a man's hand came forth, and wrote opposite the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

acv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

acv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with p

acv@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.

acv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

acv@Daniel:5:10 @ [Now] the queen came into the banquet house because of the words of the king and his lords. The queen spoke and said, O king, live forever. Let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.

acv@Daniel:5:11 @ There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. And the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the ki

acv@Daniel:5:12 @ inasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be

acv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are thou that Daniel, who are of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah?

acv@Daniel:5:14 @ I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee.

acv@Daniel:5:15 @ And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.

acv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard of thee, that thou can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts. Now if thou can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about t

acv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another. Nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

acv@Daniel:5:18 @ O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom and greatness and glory and majesty.

acv@Daniel:5:19 @ And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he wanted, he killed, and whom he wanted, he kept alive, and whom he wanted, he raised up, and whom he want

acv@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne. And they took his glory from him,

acv@Daniel:5:21 @ and he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts', and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most

acv@Daniel:5:22 @ And thou his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled thy heart, though thou knew all this,

acv@Daniel:5:23 @ but have lifted up thyself against LORD of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them. And thou have praised the gods of silve

acv@Daniel:5:24 @ Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

acv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

acv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God has numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.

acv@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL, thou are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

acv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

acv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

acv@Daniel:5:30 @ In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.

acv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

acv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom,

acv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage.

acv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

acv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion nor fault, inasmuch as he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him.

acv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

acv@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus to him: King Darius, live forever.

acv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god o

acv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.

acv@Daniel:6:9 @ Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.

acv@Daniel:6:10 @ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he d

acv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

acv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict. Have thou not signed an interdict, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to thee, O king, shall be cast i

acv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.

acv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.

acv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.

acv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou serve continually, he will deliver thee.

acv@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den. And the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

acv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting, nor were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.

acv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.

acv@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou serve continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

acv@Daniel:6:21 @ Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever.

acv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God has sent his [heavenly] agent, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, inasmuch as before him innocence was found in me. And also before thee, O king, I have done no harm.

acv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of harm was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

acv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their sons, and their wives. And the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces, bef

acv@Daniel:6:25 @ Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

acv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom [is] that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall

acv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

acv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

acv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
