Belshazzar’s feast

1King Belshazzar made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and in the presence of the thousand he was drinking wine.

2Belshazzar gave the order, as he tasted the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.

3Then they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

4They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
