JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon: 'Whosoever shall read this writing, and declare unto me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as one of three in the kingdom.'
8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
