Daniel 5:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Then were brought the golden vessels, that were taken out of the Temple of the Lord’s house at Jerusalem, and the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised the [a]gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 At the same hour appeared fingers of a man’s hand, which wrote over [b]against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote.
