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 llam贸 a gritos que trajeran a los brujos, a los astr贸logos
y a los adivinos para que se presentaran ante 茅l. Les dijo a esos sabios babil贸nicos: 芦El que pueda leer esta escritura y explicarme lo que significa ser谩 vestido con mantos p煤rpuras, propios de la realeza, y se le pondr谩 una cadena de oro alrededor del cuello. 隆Ser谩 el tercero en importancia en el reino!禄.
8 Entonces entraron todos los sabios del rey, pero ninguno pudo leer lo que estaba escrito ni decirle al rey lo que significaba.
9 As铆 que el rey se asust贸 a煤n m谩s y se puso p谩lido. Sus nobles tambi茅n estaban perturbados.
10 Cuando la reina madre oy贸 lo que estaba pasando, se dirigi贸 apresuradamente a la sala del banquete y le dijo a Belsasar: 芦隆Que viva el rey! No se ponga tan p谩lido ni tenga miedo.
11 Hay un hombre en su reino en quien vive el esp铆ritu de los dioses santos. Durante el reinado de Nabucodonosor, este hombre demostr贸 percepci贸n, entendimiento y sabidur铆a como la que tienen los dioses. El rey que precedi贸 a usted, o sea su antecesor, el rey Nabucodonosor, lo nombr贸 jefe de todos los magos, los brujos, los astr贸logos y los adivinos de Babilonia.
