    21and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts', and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will.

    22And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this,

    23but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.

    24Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

    25And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

    27TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

    28PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

    29Then commanded Belshazzar, 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.
