Daniel 5:23
Bible Versions
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
But hast lifted up {H7313} thyself against {H5922} the Lord {H4756} of heaven {H8065}; and they have brought {H858} the vessels {H3984} of his house {H1005} before {H6925} thee, and thou {H607}, and thy lords {H7261}, thy wives {H7695}, and thy concubines {H3904}, have drunk {H8355} wine {H2562} in them; and thou hast praised {H7624} the gods {H426} of silver {H3702}, and gold {H1722}, of brass {H5174}, iron {H6523}, wood {H636}, and stone {H69}, which see {H2370} not {H3809}, nor {H3809} hear {H8086}, nor {H3809} know {H3046}: and the God {H426} in whose hand {H3028} thy breath {H5396} is, and whose are all {H3606} thy ways {H735}, hast thou not {H3809} glorified {H1922}:
Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven by having them bring you the vessels from his house; and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them; then you offered praise to your gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood and stone, which can't see, hear or know anything. Meanwhile, God, who holds your very breath in his hands, and to whom belongs everything you do, you have not glorified.
Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.
