Daniel 5:25-31 - The Inscription's Interpretation
25 And this is the scripture that is written up, 'Mene, Tekel, Phares.'
26 Now the interpretation of the thing is this: Mene, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end. 27 Tekel, thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting: 28 Phares, thy kingdom is dealt in parts, and given to the Medes and Persians."
29 Then commanded Belshazzar to clothe Daniel with purple, to hang a chain of gold about his neck, and to make a proclamation concerning him: that he should be the ruler of the third part of his kingdom.
30 The very same night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain, 31 and Darius out of Media took in the kingdom, being sixty two years of age.
