מנא מנא תקל ופרסין
Daniel reads the words "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN" and interprets
them for the king: "MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and
brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed ... and found
wanting;" and "PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and
Persians. Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed in
purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was
made… that he should rank third in the kingdom; [and] that very night
Belshazzar the Chaldean (Babylonian) king was killed, and
Darius the Mede received the kingdom."
