Transcription: The king's son, Belshazzar, who had grown up in the midst of the flurry of miracles, had an even shorter memory. Chapter 5 introduces the new king at a state orgy as he boozes it up with a thousand nobles and assorted women. They were carousing in a kind of hurricane party to show their disdain over reports of enemy armies advancing on the capital. The party even included a religious element after a fashion. They worshipped idols and used sacred relics stolen from the temple in Jerusalem to hold their wine.
