Daniele 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 5:4

They drunk wine
That is, out of the vessels of the temple at Jerusalem, and perhaps till they were drunk: and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of
wood, and of stone;
for they had gods of all these materials; (See Gill on Daniel 1:2), and these they praised by offering sacrifices unto them; or rather by singing songs, and drinking healths, and by ascribing all their victories over the nations of the world to them; as that by their means they had got such large dominions, and such great wealth and treasures, and particularly these vessels of gold and silver; and so insulted and triumphed over the God of Israel, and defied the prophecies and promises of the deliverance of them that went under his name.

Daniele 5:4 In-Context

2 E Belsasar, avendo assaporato il vino, comandò che fossero portati i vasi d’oro e d’argento, che Nebucadnesar, suo padre, avea tratti fuor del Tempio, ch’era in Gerusalemme, acciocchè il re, e i suoi grandi, le sue mogli, e le sue concubine, vi bevessero dentro.
3 Allora furono portati i vasi d’oro, ch’erano stati tratti fuor del Tempio della Casa del Signore, ch’era in Gerusalemme. E il re, e i suoi grandi, le sue mogli, e le sue concubine, vi bevvero dentro.
4 Essi beveano del vino, e lodavano gl’iddii d’oro, e d’argento, di rame, di ferro, di legno, e di pietra.
5 In quella stessa ora uscirono delle dita di man d’uomo, le quali scrivevano dirincontro al candelliere, in su lo smalto della parete del palazzo reale; e il re vide quel pezzo di mano che scriveva.
6 Allora il color della faccia del re si mutò, e i suoi pensieri lo spaventarono, e i cinti de’ suoi lombi si sciolsero, e le sue ginocchia si urtarono l’un contro all’altro.
