26 These are the meanings of the words: MENE: God has audited your kingdom—and has ended it.

27 TEKEL: You've been weighed on the scales—and you don't measure up.

28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided—and will be given to the Medes and Persians.|

29 Then Belshazzar gave orders to clothe Daniel in purple, to place a chain of gold around his neck, and to proclaim him the third highest ruler of the kingdom.

30 That night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was killed,

31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom at the age of 62.
