Daniel 5:25-31 - The Inscription's Interpretation

25 And this is the writing which was inscribed, M'ne, M'ne, T'kel, u-Pharsin.

26 This, is the interpretation of the thing, - M'ne, God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it: 27 T'kel, - thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 P'res, - snatched away is thy kingdom, and given to the Medes and Persians.

29 Then Belshazzar, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, - and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.

30 In that night, was slain - Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans. 31 And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, - when about sixty-two years of age.
