Daniel 5:1-4

Belshazzar’s party

1 King Belshazzar threw a huge party for a thousand of his princes, and he drank a lot of wine in front of them.
2 While he was under the wine's influence, Belshazzar commanded that the gold and silver equipment that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem's temple be brought to the party so that the king, his princes, his consorts, and his secondary wives could drink wine out of them.
3 So the gold equipment that had been carried out of the temple, God's house in Jerusalem, was brought in; and the king, his princes, his consorts, and his secondary wives drank out of it.
4 They drank a lot of wine; and they praised the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
