Daniel 5:25-31 - The Inscription's Interpretation
25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God has numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end. 27 TEKEL, thou are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting. 28 PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain. 31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
