Daniele 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.

Daniele 5:9 In-Context

7 E il re gridò di forza che si facesser venire gli astrologi, i Caldei, e gl’indovini. E il re prese a dire a’ savi di Babilonia: Chiunque leggerà questa scrittura, e me ne dichiarerà l’interpretazione, sarà vestito di porpora, e porterà una collana d’oro in collo, e sarà il terzo signore nel regno.
8 Allora entrarono tutti i savi del re; ma non poterono leggere quella scrittura, nè dichiararne al re l’interpretazione.
9 Allora il re Belsasar fu grandemente spaventato, e il color della sua faccia si mutò in lui; i suoi grandi ancora furono smarriti.
10 La regina, alle parole del re, e de’ suoi grandi, entrò nel luogo del convito, e fece motto al re, e gli disse: O re, possi tu vivere in perpetuo; i tuoi pensieri non ti spaventino, e il colore della tua faccia non si muti.
11 Vi è un uomo nel tuo regno, in cui è lo spirito degl’iddii santi; e al tempo di tuo padre si trovò in lui illuminazione, ed intendimento, e sapienza, pari alla sapienza degl’iddii; e il re Nebucadnesar, tuo padre, o re, lo costituì capo de’ magi, degli astrologi, de’ Caldei, e degl’indovini.
