Daniel 5:23-25
Legacy Standard Bible
23 but you have (A)raised yourself up against the (B)Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the (C)gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear, or know. But the God (D)in whose hand are your life-breath and all your (E)ways, you have not honored. 24 Then the [a](F)hand was sent from Him, and this writing was [b]inscribed.
25 “Now this is the writing that was [c]inscribed: ‘[d]MENE, [e]MENE, [f]TEKEL, [g]UPHARSIN.’
