God will bring down the lofty looks of men. What's interesting to me is how Belshazarr stood great and proud before his 1000 lords, full of wine, arrogancy and pride. Alcohol and power can fill a person with boastful words - as was the case with this king. But, his demeanor and attitude quickly changed when the hand began writing. It says his muscles in his loins loosened which leads me to think he used the bathroom on himself and his knees shook. He was filled with fear and troubled thoughts. God quickly erased his puffed up attitude and high minded thoughts. It's a warning to us all - that we have to watch the things that come out of our mouth - because we never know when we will be weighed in the balance - and if found wanting - will be quickly cut off. Belshazarr got cut off the night Daniel explained the writing to him. It pays to be humble and sober.
