26. This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;
27. TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;
28. PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29. Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
