Cross-References for Daniel 5:23

because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and willingly in the time of prosperity, therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you.

Highlights the consequences of not glorifying God.

But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

Contrasts the living God with lifeless idols.

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all people life and breath and everything else.

Emphasizes God as the giver of life and breath.

You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

Affirms God's worthiness to receive glory and honor.
