Daniel 5:4-6

The Voice

⁴ As they drank the wine, they offered praise to their idols crafted in gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

⁵ Suddenly the fingers of a hand—a human hand—appeared and began to write on the plaster of one of the palace walls lit by a nearby lampstand. The king stood transfixed, watching the hand as it wrote. ⁶ Then his face changed. He grew pale and began to feel sick. His thoughts frightened him: what was this strange vision? His legs felt weak and wobbly. His knees knocked together.
