And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;(Daniel 5:22)
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:(Daniel 5:23)
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.(Daniel 5:24)
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.(Daniel 5:26)
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.(Daniel 5:27)
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.(Daniel 5:28)
