Daniel 5:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible
23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
24 Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
25 Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.
26 And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
