Daniel 5:8-10

The Voice

⁸ All the king’s purported wise men came forward to examine the wall, but no one could read the writing or tell the king what it meant. ⁹ When it became clear that none of his sages could help him, King Belshazzar became even more frightened. His face grew even paler, and his officials were dumbfounded.

¹⁰ Belshazzar’s mother, the queen, overheard some of the discussions between the king and his noble guests, so she entered the banquet hall.
