King Belshaz '
zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords ,
and drank wine in front of the thousand .
*
Belshaz '
zar ,
when he tasted the wine ,
commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez '
zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought ,
that the king and his lords ,
his wives ,
and his concubines might drink from them .
*
Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple ,
the house of God in Jerusalem ;
and the king and his lords ,
his wives ,
and his concubines drank from them .
*
They drank wine ,
and praised the gods of gold and silver ,
bronze ,
iron ,
wood ,
and stone .

Immediately the fingers of a man '
s hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king '
s palace ,
opposite the lampstand ;
and the king saw the hand as it wrote .
