Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Gods of silver . . .--Comp. Deuteronomy 4:28. Belshazzar had exceeded those limits of authority over Israel which he had by right of conquest. The Israelites were, indeed, his subjects, but he had no right to blaspheme their God. For similar instances of men exceeding the limits of their authority while acting as ministers of God's chastisement, see Isaiah 10:5-18; Jeremiah 51:20-25; Hosea 14, 5.Not glorified--i.e., dishonoured.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewInstead, you have exaltedהִתְרוֹמַ֡מְתָּ (hiṯ·rō·w·mam·tā)Verb - Hitpael - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7313: To be high, to rise, raiseyourself againstוְעַ֣ל (wə·‘al)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 5922: Above, over, upon, againstthe Lordמָרֵֽא־ (mā·rê-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4756: Lord -- lordof heaven.שְׁמַיָּ֣א ׀ (šə·may·yā)Noun - mddStrong's 8065: The skyThe vesselsוּלְמָֽאנַיָּ֨א (ū·lə·mā·nay·yā)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 3984: Vessel, utensilfromדִֽי־ (ḏî-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 1768: Who, which, that, becauseHis houseבַיְתֵ֜הּ (ḇay·ṯêh)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1005: A housewere broughtהַיְתִ֣יו (hay·ṯîw)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 858: To arriveto you,קָֽדָמָ֗ךְ (qā·ḏā·māḵ)Preposition | second person masculine singularStrong's 6925: Beforeand as youוְאַ֨נְתְּ (wə·’ant)Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - second person masculine singularStrong's 607: You drankשָׁתַ֣יִן (šā·ṯa·yin)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 8355: To imbibewine from themחַמְרָא֮ (ḥam·rā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 2562: Winewith your nobles,וְרַבְרְבָנָ֜ךְ‪‬ (wə·raḇ·rə·ḇā·nāḵ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 7261: Lord, noblewives,שֵֽׁגְלָתָ֣ךְ (šê·ḡə·lā·ṯāḵ)Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 7695: (royal) consortand concubines,וּלְחֵנָתָךְ֮ (ū·lə·ḥê·nā·ṯāḵ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 3904: A concubineyou praisedשַׁבַּ֑חְתָּ (šab·baḥ·tā)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7624: To adulate, adoregodsוְלֵֽאלָהֵ֣י (wə·lê·lā·hê)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 426: Godof silverכַסְפָּֽא־ (ḵas·pā-)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 3702: Silver, moneyand gold,וְ֠דַהֲבָא (wə·ḏa·hă·ḇā)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 1722: Goldbronzeנְחָשָׁ֨א (nə·ḥā·šā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 5174: Copper, bronzeand iron,פַרְזְלָ֜א (p̄ar·zə·lā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 6523: Ironwoodאָעָ֣א (’ā·‘ā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 636: A tree, woodand stone,וְאַבְנָ֗א (wə·’aḇ·nā)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular determinateStrong's 69: A stonewhichדִּ֠י (dî)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 1768: Who, which, that, becausecannotלָֽא־ (lā-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3809: Not, noseeחָזַ֧יִן (ḥā·za·yin)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 2370: To gaze upon, mentally to dream, be usualorוְלָא־ (wə·lā-)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3809: Not, nohearשָׁמְעִ֛ין (šā·mə·‘în)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 8086: To hear intelligentlyorוְלָ֥א (wə·lā)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3809: Not, nounderstand.יָדְעִ֖ין (yā·ḏə·‘în)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 3046: To knowBut you have failed toלָ֥א (lā)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3809: Not, noglorifyהַדַּֽרְתָּ׃ (had·dar·tā)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 1922: To glorify (God)the Godוְלֵֽאלָהָ֞א (wə·lê·lā·hā)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 426: Godwho [holds]דִּֽי־ (dî-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 1768: Who, which, that, becausein His handבִּידֵ֛הּ (bî·ḏêh)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 3028: A handyour very breathנִשְׁמְתָ֥ךְ (niš·mə·ṯāḵ)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 5396: Vital breathand allוְכָל־ (wə·ḵāl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3606: The whole, all, any, everyyour ways.אֹרְחָתָ֥ךְ (’ō·rə·ḥā·ṯāḵ)Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 735: A roadJump to PreviousBrass Breath Concubines Drunk Glorified Gods Gold Hand Hear Heaven House Iron Lifted Lords Praised Silver Stone Thyself Vessels Ways Wine Wives Wood
