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


Thematic Bible



Tekel; Thou shalt be weighed in the balances and be found wanting.

Belshazzar the king made great food for a thousand of his nobles, and before the thousand he drank wine. Belshazzar said, in tasting the wine, to bring in for the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father brought forth from the temple that was in Jerusalem; and in them the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, will drink.
