Daniel 5:16-29

16But I have heardH8086 of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts: nowH3705 if thou canst readH7123 the writing, and makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of goldH1722 about thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437.

17ThenH116 DanielH1841 answered and saidH560 before the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will readH7123 the writing unto the kingH4430, and makeH3046 knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591. 18O thou kingH4430, the MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426 gave NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 the kingdomH4437, and greatnessH7238, and glory, and majestyH1923: 19and because of the greatnessH7238 that he gave him, all the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and languages trembled and fearedH1763 before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down. 20But when his heartH3825 was liftedH7313 up, and his spiritH7308 was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throneH3764, and they took his glory from him: 21and he was driven from the sons of menH606, and his heartH3825 was madeH3046 like the beasts’, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his bodyH1655 was wet with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; until he knewH3046 that the MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426 ruleth in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will. 22And thou his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast not humbled thy heartH3825, though thou knewest all this, 23but hast liftedH7313 up thyself against the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wineH2562 from them; and thou hast praised the godsH426 of silverH3702 and goldH1722, of brass, ironH6523, wood, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 not, nor hearH8086, nor knowH3046; and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breath is, and whose are all thy waysH735, hast thou not glorified. 24ThenH116 was the part of the handH3028 sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

25And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26This is the interpretationH6591 of the thing: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numbered thy kingdomH4437, and brought it to an end. 27TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art foundH7912 wanting. 28PERES; thy kingdomH4437 is divided, and given to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.

29ThenH116 commanded BelshazzarH1113, and they clothed DanielH1841 with purple, and put a chain of goldH1722 about his neckH6676, and made proclamation concerningH5922 him, that he should be the thirdH8531 ruler in the kingdomH4437.
