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

25 And this the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL and PHARSIN.

26 This the interpretation of the word: Mene; God numbered thy kingdom and completed it. 27 Tekel; Thou shalt be weighed in the balances and be found wanting. 28 Pharsin; Thy kingdom was divided, and it shall be given to the Medes and to Persia.

29 At that time Belshazzar said, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and they cried out concerning him, for him to rule the third in the kingdom.

30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was killed. 31 And Darius the Median received the kingdom, as the son of two and sixty years.
