Daniel 5:20-28

20 But ^owhen his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, ^phe was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 ^qHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, ^runtil he knew that the ^sMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son, ^{▼▼Or successor} ^uBelshazzar, ^vhave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^wthe Lord of heaven. And ^xthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ^yAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^zbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^aawhose are all your ways, ^abyou have not honored.

24 “Then from his presence ^acthe hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered ^{▼▼ Mene sounds like the Aramaic for numbered} the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, ^aeyou have been weighed ^{▼▼ Tekel sounds like the Aramaic for weighed} in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to ^agthe Medes and ^ahPersians.” ^{▼▼ Peres (the singular of Parsin) sounds like the Aramaic for divided and for Persia}
