Daniel 5:8

The Handwriting On The Wall

⁷ Wherefore the king cried mightily, that they should bring him the charmers, Chaldeans, and the conjurers of devils. The king spake also to the wise men of Babylon, and said, "Whoso can read this writing, and show me the plain meaning thereof: shall be clothed with purple, have a chain of gold about his neck, and rule the third part of my kingdom." ⁸ Upon this, came all the king's wise men: but they could neither read the writing, nor show the king what it signified. ⁹ Then was the king sore afraid in so much, that his color changed, and his lords were sore vexed.
