27:005:021 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.
27:005:022 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not
humbled thine heart,
though
thou knewest all this;
27:005:023 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:
27:005:024 Then was the part of the hand sent from
him; and this writing
was
written.
27:005:025 And this is the writing that was written,
Mene, Mene, TEKEL,
UPHARSIN.
27:005:026 This is the interpretation of the thing:
Mene; God hath
numbered
thy kingdom, and finished it.
27:005:027 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances,
and art found
wanting.
27:005:028 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and
given to the Medes and
Persians.
27:005:029 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.
27:005:030 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
27:005:031 And Darius the Median took the kingdom,
being about threescore
and
two years old.
27:006:001 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom
an hundred and
twenty
princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
27:006:002 And over these three presidents; of whom
Daniel was first:
that
the princes might give accounts unto them, and the
king
should
have no damage.
27:006:003 Then this Daniel was preferred above the
presidents and
princes,
because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king
thought
to set him over the whole realm.
27:006:004 Then the presidents and princes sought
to find occasion
against
Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find
none
occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither
was
there any error or fault found in him.
27:006:005 Then said these men, We shall not find
any occasion against
this
Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the
law
of
his God.
