The King James Version Bible

Daniel 5:26-30

  1. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

  2. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

  3. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

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

  5. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
