The Day of the Lord
Daniel 5:20-24
New Living Translation
20 But when his heart and mind were puffed up with arrogance, he was brought down from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven from human society. He was given the mind of a wild animal, and he lived among the wild donkeys. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of the world and appoints anyone he desires to rule over them.
22 “You are his successor,[a] O Belshazzar, and you knew all this, yet you have not humbled yourself. 23 For you have proudly defied the Lord of heaven and have had these cups from his Temple brought before you. You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny! 24 So God has sent this hand to write this message.

22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[a] have not humbled(G) yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against(H) the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives(I) 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.(J) But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life(K) and all your ways.(L) 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
