Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 5 of Daniel. The appearance of the writing on the wall violently interrupts the feast. The king loses his confidence and desperately seeks an interpretation. The hand writing without revealing the writer functions as a sign of an invisible authority entering the center of imperial power. The king’s fear contrasts with the confidence with which he had previously used the sacred vessels.

Mudou-se então o semblante do rei, e os seus pensamentos o turbaram; as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos batiam um no outro.
就變了臉色,心意驚惶,腰骨好像脫節,雙膝彼此相碰,
