Daniel 5:7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)The king called loudly to bring in (B)the enchanters, the (C)Chaldeans, and (D)the astrologers. The king declared[a] to the wise men of Babylon, (E)“Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and (F)shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king's wise men came in, but (G)they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation. 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly (H)alarmed, and his (I)color changed, and his (J)lords were perplexed.
