Daniel 5:25-31

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.

30That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.

31And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
