Belshazzar H1113 the king H4430 made H5648 a great H7227 feast H3900 to a thousand H506 of his lords, H7261 and drank H8355 wine H2562 before H6903 the thousand. H506

Belshazzar, H1113 whiles he tasted H2942 the wine, H2562 commanded H560 to bring H858 the golden H1722 and silver H3702 vessels H3984 which H1768 his father H2 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had taken H5312 out of the temple H1965 which H1768 was in Jerusalem; H3390 that the king, H4430 and his princes, H7261 his wives, H7695 and his concubines, H3904 might drink H8355 therein.

My heart H3824 panted, H8582 fearfulness H6427 affrighted H1204 me: the night H5399 of my pleasure H2837 has he turned H7760 into fear H2731 to me.

For thus H3541 has the LORD H136 said H559 to me, Go, H3212 set H5975 a watchman, H6822 let him declare H5046 what H834 he sees. H7200

And he cried, H7121 A lion: H738 My lord, H136 I stand H5975 continually H8548 on the watchtower H4707 in the daytime, H3119 and I am set H5324 in my ward H4931 whole H3605 nights: H3915

But these H428 two H8147 things shall come H935 to you in a moment H7281 in one H259 day, H3117 the loss H7921 of children, and widowhood: H489 they shall come H935 on you in their perfection H8537 for the multitude H7230 of your sorceries, H3785 and for the great H3966 abundance H6109 of your enchantments. H2267

Make bright H1305 the arrows; H2671 gather H4390 the shields: H7982 the LORD H3068 has raised H5782 up the spirit H7307 of the kings H4428 of the Medes: H4074 for his device H4209 is against H5921 Babylon, H894 to destroy H7843 it; because H3588 it is the vengeance H5360 of the LORD, H3068 the vengeance H5360 of his temple. H1964

One post H7323 shall run H7323 to meet H7125 another, and one messenger H5046 to meet H7125 another, to show H5046 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 that his city H5892 is taken H3920 at one end, H7097

In their heat H2527 I will make H7896 their feasts, H4960 and I will make them drunken, H7937 that they may rejoice, H5937 and sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep, H8142 and not wake, H6974 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

And I will make drunk H7937 her princes, H8269 and her wise H2450 men, her captains, H6346 and her rulers, H5461 and her mighty H1368 men: and they shall sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep, H8142 and not wake, H6974 said H5002 the King, H4428 whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
