This hast thou known, Belshazzar, yet refused
To humble thee before Him. Thou hast dared
To lift thyself against the Lord of heaven.
Thou hast defiled the vessels of His house
With idol wine, and given in these the praise
To gods of stone and silver; in whose mouth
There is no speech nor seeing in their eyes.
But the high God thou hast not glorified:
Is not thy breath as vapour in His hand,
And all thy ways as nothing in His sight?

And all thy ways as nothing in His sight?
