Daniel 5:6-8
Lexham English Bible

6 Then his face changed and his thoughts terrified him, and his hip joints gave way[a] and his knees knocked together.[b] 7 The king cried aloud[c] to bring in the conjurers,[d] the astrologers[e] and the diviners; the king spoke[f] and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Any man that can read this writing and can tell me its explanation will be clothed in purple and will have a necklace of gold hung around his neck and he will rule as third in authority in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the wise men of the king came in, but they were not able to read the writing or to make known its explanation.[g]
