Daniel 5:20-28

20But when his heartH3825 was liftedH7313 up, and his spiritH7308 was hardened that he dealt proudly, he was deposedH5182 from his kingly throneH3764, and they took his gloryH3367 from him:

21and he was drivenH2957 from the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH3046 like the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wildH6167 asses; he was fed with grassH6211 like oxen, and his bodyH1655 was wet with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065: untilH5705 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 notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewest allH3606 this;

23but hast liftedH7313 upH6925 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wivesH7695 and thy concubinesH3904, have drunk wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brass, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, whichH1768 seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whoseH1768 handH3028 thy breath is, and whoseH1768 are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:

24Then was the partH4481 of the handH3028 sentH7972 from beforeH6925 him, and this writingH3792 was inscribed.

25And this is the writingH3792 that was inscribed, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

26This is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numberedH4483 thy kingdomH4437, and brought it to an endH8000.

27TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art foundH7912 wanting.

28PERES; thy kingdomH4437 is divided, and givenH3052 to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.
