Thematic Bible: Like the sin of belshazzar it may be done under the influence of strong drink


Thematic Bible



TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;

Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
