Study Note
Belshazzar's predecessor Nebuchadnezzar is cited as a cautionary example: when his heart was lifted up and his spirit hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne. The passive 'was deposed' (hanzar) emphasizes the divine agency in the king's humiliation, while 'mind hardened in pride' uses the same language applied to Pharaoh in Exodus, linking Babylonian and Egyptian imperial arrogance. The historical Nebuchadnezzar's humiliation and restoration (Daniel 4) stands as evidence that Belshazzar should have known better — making his pride culpable rather than merely ignorant. Proverbs 16:18 ('pride goes before destruction') and James 4:6 ('God opposes the proud') articulate the same divine response to human arrogance.
