Daniel 5:25-29
25“Now this is the inscription that was written out: ‘1Menē, 2Menē, 3Tekēl, 4Upharsin.’ 26This is the interpretation of the 5message: ‘Menē’--God has numbered your kingdom and 6put an end to it. 27‘Tekēl’--you have been 7weighed on the scales and found deficient. 28‘Perēs’--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the 8Medes and 9Persians.”
29Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they 10clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the 11third ruler in the kingdom.
