    22 But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.

    23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You had the vessels from His house brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which cannot see, hear, or understand. But the God who holds your breath in His hand and controls all your ways, you have not glorified.

    24 Therefore, He sent the hand that wrote this inscription.

    25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin.

    26 This is the interpretation of the message: Mene means that God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.
