And the king, and his rulers, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. ⁴ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone. ⁵ At that moment fingers of a man's hand came out and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace across from the lampstand. And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
