24 Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
25 “And this is the inscription that was written: 1MENE, MENE,2 TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;
27 TEKEL: aYou have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;
28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the aMedes and bPersians.”
29 Then 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 athat he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
