Daniel 5:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, 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 neither see, neither hear, nor understand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy ways, him hast thou not glorified.
24 [a]Then was the palm of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing.
25 And this is the writing that he hath written, [b]MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
