Daniel 5:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 Yet you, his [a]son, Belshazzar, have (A)not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this, 23 but you have (B)risen up against the (C)Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have been drinking wine out of them; and you have praised the (D)gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor understand. But the God (E)in whose hand are your life-breath and all your (F)ways, you have not glorified. 24 Then the [b](G)hand was sent from Him and this inscription was written out.

Daniel 5:22-24
New International Version
22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[a] have not humbled(A) yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against(B) the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives(C) and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.(D) But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life(E) and all your ways.(F) 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
