Daniel 5:7
Douay-Rheims
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
Adam Clarke
Whosoever shall read this writing - He knew it must be some awful portent, and wished to know what.
