    21Then he was driven from the sons of men; his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that He appoints over it whomever He chooses.

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

    23But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them, and you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

    24Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.

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

    26This is the interpretation of each word: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it.

    27TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.

    28PERES: Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

    29Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, have a chain of gold around his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
