Daniel 5:23 in Context — Daniel 5
21 il fut chassé du milieu des enfants des hommes, son cœur devint semblable à celui des bêtes, et sa demeure fut avec les ânes sauvages; on lui donna comme aux bœufs de l’herbe à manger, et son corps fut trempé de la rosée du ciel, jusqu’à ce qu’il reconnût que le Dieu suprême domine sur le règne des hommes et qu’il le donne à qui il lui plaît.
22 Et toi, Belschatsar, son fils, tu n’as pas humilié ton cœur, quoique tu susses toutes ces choses.
23 Tu t’es élevé contre le Seigneur des cieux; les vases de sa maison ont été apportés devant toi, et vous vous en êtes servis pour boire du vin, toi et tes grands, tes femmes et tes concubines; tu as loué les dieux d’argent, d’or, d’airain, de fer, de bois et de pierre, qui ne voient point, qui n’entendent point, et qui ne savent rien, et tu n’as pas glorifié le Dieu qui a dans sa main ton souffle et toutes tes voies.
24 C’est pourquoi il a envoyé cette extrémité de main qui a tracé cette écriture.
25 Voici l’écriture qui a été tracée: Compté, compté, pesé, et divisé.
