Daniel 5:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 (A)Immediately (B)the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw (C)the hand as it wrote. 6 (D)Then the king's colour changed, (E)and his thoughts alarmed him; (F)his limbs gave way, and (G)his knees knocked together. 7 (H)The king called loudly to bring in (I)the enchanters, the (J)Chaldeans, and (K)the astrologers. The king declared[a] to the wise men of Babylon, (L)“Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold round his neck and (M)shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
