7 ^bThese also reel with wine
and ^cstagger with strong drink;
the priest and ^dthe prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by ^{▼▼Or confused by} wine,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.

The Handwriting on the Wall

1 ⁱKing Belshazzar ^jmade a great feast for a thousand of his ^klords and drank wine in front of the thousand.

2 ^lBelshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that ^mthe vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father ^{▼▼Or predecessor; also verses 11, 13, 18} had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them. 3 Then they brought in ^othe golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them. 4 They drank wine and ^ppraised the ^qgods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5 ^rImmediately ^sthe fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw ^tthe hand as it wrote.

15 ^w“Woe to him ^xwho makes his neighbors drink—
you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
in order to gaze ^yat their nakedness!
16 You will have your fill ^zof shame instead of glory.
^aaDrink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
^abThe cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and ^acutter shame will come upon your glory!

Luke 21:34
