Daniel 5:24-29

24Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.

25“And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

26This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;

27TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;

28PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
