Daniel 5:25-30
25“This is the writing that was inscribed: mene, mene, teqel, and pharsin.
26This is the interpretation of the words: As for mene – God has numbered your kingdom’s days and brought it to an end.
27As for teqel – you are weighed on the balances and found to be lacking.
28As for peres – your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
29Then, on Belshazzar’s orders, Daniel was clothed in purple, a golden collar was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed third ruler in the kingdom.
30And in that very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed.
