* O thou king , the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom , and majesty , and glory , and honour : * And for the majesty that he gave him , all people , nations , and languages , trembled and feared before him : whom he would he slew ; and whom he would he kept alive ; and whom he would he set up ; and whom he would he put down . * But when his heart was lifted up , and his mind hardened in pride , he was deposed from his kingly throne , and they took his glory from him : * And he was driven from the sons of men ; and his heart was made like the beasts , and his dwelling was with the wild asses : they fed him with grass like oxen , and his body was wet with the dew of heaven ; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men , and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will . * And thou his son , O Belshazzar , hast not humbled thine heart , though thou knewest all this ; * But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven ; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee , and thou , and thy lords , thy wives , and thy concubines , have drunk wine in them ; and thou hast praised the gods of silver , and gold , of brass , iron , wood , and stone , which see not , nor hear , nor know : and the God in whose hand thy breath is , and whose are all thy ways , hast thou not glorified : * Then was the part of the hand sent from him ; and this writing was written . * And this is the writing that was written , MENE , MENE , TEKEL , UPHARSIN . * This is the interpretation of the thing : MENE ; God hath numbered thy kingdom , and finished it . * TEKEL ; Thou art weighed in the balances , and art found wanting . * PERES ; Thy kingdom is divided , and given to the Medes and Persians .
