Verse 30 is found in chapter 5 of Daniel. Belshazzar rewards Daniel despite receiving an unfavorable sentence, but the administrative promotion becomes irrelevant in the face of the immediate outcome. That same night the king dies and Babylonian authority changes hands. The speed of fulfillment reinforces the difference between human promises of security and the divine word just spoken concerning the kingdom.
