Then was the king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and sooth-sayers;

וּמַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּֽא׃ (מַלְכָּֽ) mal.Ka “king”

Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, the interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judea?

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”לְמַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor:

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should have no damage.

וּמַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

וּמַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”

Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

מַלְכָּא֮ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֒ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

מַלְכָּא֒ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king, when he heard these words, was much displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he labored till the setting of the sun to deliver him.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”לְמַלְכָּ֗א (מַלְכָּ֗) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

מַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then said Daniel to the king, O king, live for ever.

מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
