Daniel 5:6 Context
4They drunke wine, and praised the gods of gold and of siluer, of brasse, of yron, of wood, and of stone. 5¶ In the same houre came forth fingers of a mans hand, and wrote ouer against the candlesticke vpon the plaister of the wall of the Kings palace, and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6Then the kings countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the ioints of his loines were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. 7The king cried aloud to bring in the Astrologers, the Caldeans, and the soothsayers: and the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoeuer shall reade this writing, and shewe me the interpretation thereof, shall bee clothed with scarlet, and haue a chaine of gold about his necke, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdome. 8Then came in all the kings wise men, but they could not reade the writing, nor make knowen to the king the interpretation thereof.
