Daniel 5:7

---

← Daniel 5:6	Daniel 5:7 (KJV)	Daniel 5:8 →
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.	The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise [men] of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.	Then came in all the king's wise [men]: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
