Daniel 5:2

The Mysterious Writing On The Wall

¹ Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand. ² Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them. ³ Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.
