Daniel 5:9 meaning and explanation

Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered.

Daniel 5:9, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Belshazzar has just watched a disembodied hand write on the palace wall, and none of his enchanters, astrologers or diviners can read or explain it. This verse shows the king's fear deepening and spreading to his nobles: the man who hosted a feast in defiance of God now pales before a message he cannot understand.
