Daniel 5:8

The Handwriting On The Wall

⁷ The king cried {aloud} to bring [in] the conjurers, the {astrologers} and the diviners; the king {spoke} and said to [the] wise men of Babylon, "Any man that can read this writing and can tell me its explanation will be clothed [in] purple and [will have] necklace of gold [hung] around his neck and he will rule [as] third [in authority] in the kingdom." ⁸ Then all the wise men of the king came in, but they were not able to read the writing or to make known its explanation. ⁹ Then the king, Belshazzar, became greatly terrified, and {his facial features} changed upon him, and his lords were perplexed.
