For as I walked around and looked c<strong>are</strong>fully
at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this
inscription:|
To an unknown god
But you
his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all
this.
Instead, you have set yourself up against
the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to
you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank
wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze,

Note the use of an empty tag to represent the start of Daniel's quotation, which ends at the
end of verse 28 (where would appear to end the quotation). There
is no need for quotation marks, either at the start of verse 22 or of verse 25 (after a

Inscriptions <strong>are</strong> found in Exod.39.30, Dan.5.25, 2Tim.2.19. There <strong>are</strong> additional passages
