Daniel 5:24-29

24Then the hand was sent from the presence [of the Most High God], and this inscription was written:

25“This is the inscription that was written, ‘mene, mene, tekel, upharsin [numbered, numbered, weighed, and divided].’

26This is the interpretation of the message: ‘mene’—God has numbered the days of your kingdom and put an end to it;

27‘tekel’—you have been weighed on the scales [of righteousness] and found deficient;

28‘peres’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

29Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple and a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation concerning him was issued [declaring] that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.
