Daniel 5:1-3

New Century Version

The Writing on the Wall

5 King Belshazzar gave a big banquet for a thousand royal guests and drank wine with them. ² As Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver cups that his ancestor Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem. This was so the king, his royal guests, his wives, and his slave women could drink from those cups. ³ So they brought the gold cups that had been taken from the Temple of God in Jerusalem. And the king and his royal guests, his wives, and his slave women drank from them.
