International Standard Version

“And you, your officials, and your wives and mistresses drank wine from them.

“You praised gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which can’t see, hear, or demonstrate knowledge.

²⁴ “Therefore, the hand^[a] that wrote this inscription was sent from his presence. ²⁵ This is the written inscription:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL and PARSIN
