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;

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.

10 La regina, com’ebbe udito le parole del re e dei suoi grandi, entrò nella sala del convito. La regina prese a dire: "O re, possa tu vivere in perpetuo! I tuoi pensieri non ti spaventino, e non mutar di colore!
11 C’è un uomo nel tuo regno, in cui è lo spirito degli dei santi; e al tempo di tuo padre si trovò in lui una luce, un intelletto e una sapienza, pari alla sapienza degli dèi; e il re Nebucadnetsar tuo padre, il padre tuo, o re, lo stabilì capo dei magi, degli incantatori, de’ Caldei e degli astrologi,
