Daniel 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 5:9

Then was King Belshazzar greatly troubled
A second time, and perhaps more than before; since he had conceived some hope that his wise men would have informed him what this writing was, and the meaning of it; but finding that they were nonplussed by it, it gave him still greater uneasiness: and his countenance was changed in him;
again; very likely, upon the coming in of the wise men, he had a little recovered himself, and became more composed and serene; which appeared in his countenance; but, upon this disappointment, his countenance changed again, and he turned pale, and looked ghastly: and his lords were astonished;
were in the utmost consternation and confusion, when they understood that the writing could neither be read nor interpreted; neither the dignity of their station, nor their numbers, nor their liquor, could keep up their spirits; so that the king had not one with him, to speak a comfortable word to him, or give him any advice in this his time of distress; they were all in the same condition with himself.

Daniel 5:9 In-Context

7 El rey clamó en alta voz que hicieran venir magos, caldeos, y adivinos. Habló el rey, y dijo a los sabios de Babilonia: Cualquiera que leyere esta escritura, y me mostrare su declaración, será vestido de púrpura, y tendrá collar de oro a su cuello; y en el reino se enseñoreará el tercero

8 Entonces fueron introducidos todos los sabios del rey, y no pudieron leer la escritura, ni mostrar al rey su declaración

9 Entonces el rey Belsasar estuvo muy turbado, y se le mudaron sus colores y se alteraron sus príncipes

10 La reina, por las palabras del rey y de sus príncipes, entró a la sala del banquete. Habló la reina, y dijo: Rey, para siempre vive, no te asombren tus pensamientos, ni tus colores se demuden

11 en tu reino hay un varón, en el cual mora el espíritu del santo Dios; y en los días de tu padre se halló en él lumbre e inteligencia y sabiduría, como conocimiento de Dios, al cual el rey Nabucodonosor, tu padre, constituyó príncipe sobre todos los magos, astrólogos, caldeos, y adivinos: así hizo el rey tu padre
