Daniel 5:7-9

World English Bible

⁷ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”

⁸ Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation. ⁹ Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
