    7These were the visions I saw while lying on my bed: I looked, and there stood a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was enormous.

    9Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and it provided food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, the birds of the heavens lived in its branches, and every creature was fed from it.

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

    23Instead, 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.

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

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

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