- Daniel 5:23
But against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted yourself up; and the vessels of his house they brought before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and the gods of silver and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood and of stone, which do not see or hear or know, you have praised; but the Elah in whose hand is your breath and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.
