Daniel 5,3
1 Kong Belsasar holdt et stort gjestebud for tusen av sine stormenn, og han drakk vin i deres nærvær.
2 Mens han smakte på vinen, befalte Belsasar at man skulle hente gull- og sølvkarene som Nebukadnesar, hans far, hadde tatt fra tempelet i Jerusalem, slik at kongen, hans stormenn, hans hustruer og hans medhustruer kunne drikke av dem.
Så hentet de gullkarene som hadde blitt tatt fra Guds tempel i Jerusalem, og kongen og hans stormenn, hans hustruer og hans medhustruer drakk av dem.
4 Mens de drakk vinen, priste de gudene av gull og sølv, av bronse, jern, tre og stein.
5 Plutselig viste det seg fingrene av en menneskehånd som begynte å skrive på veggens puss, nær lysestaken i kongens palass, og kongen så hånden mens den skrev.
