daniel 5 23but over the lord of heaven you exalted yourself, and the vessels of his house they brought before you, and you, your dignitaries, your queen, and your concubines drank wine in them, and you praised gods of silver and gold, copper, iron, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor know, but the god in whose hand is your soul and all your ways-he you did not glorify. 24then from before him the palm of a hand was sent forth, and it inscribed this writing. 25and this is the writing that it inscribed: mene mene tekeil ufarsin. 26this is the interpretation of the matter: mene-god has counted your kingdom and has brought it to an end. 27tekeil-you were weighed on the scales and found wanting. 28ufarsin-your kingdom has been broken up and given to media and persia."
