In context
22 And thou his sonne, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all these things,
23 But hast lift thy selfe vp against the Lord of heauen, and they haue brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, thy wiues and thy concubines haue drunke wine in them, and thou hast praysed the gods of siluer and golde, of brasse, yron, wood and stone, which neither see, neither heare, nor vnderstand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy wayes, him hast thou not glorified.
24 Then was the palme of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing.
25 And this is the writing that he hath written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing, MENE, God hath nombred thy kingdome, and hath finished it.
27 TEKEL, thou art wayed in the balance, and art found too light.
28 PERES, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians.
