25 “This is the inscription that was written:
26 “This is the interpretation of the message:Mene: God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.
27 Tekel: you have been weighed in the balances and are 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 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.
30 That same night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was slain.
31 Then Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
