4 They (A)drank the wine and praised the gods of (B)gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
5 Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the (a)back of the hand that did the writing. 6 Then the king’s (b)(C)face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his (D)hip joints went slack and his (E)knees began knocking together.
