‏ Daniel 5:2

v. 2: While enjoying the wine, Belshazzar ordered that the sacred vessels from the temple in Jerusalem be brought so he and his guests could drink from them. This was a great insult to God. He used holy things for a drunken party, treating them as if they belonged to him. This act showed his pride and disrespect for God and God's people (Ezra 1:7 a).
