20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his honour was taken from him.
21 And he was driven forth from men; and his heart was given him after the nature of wild beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and they fed him with grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the most high God is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whomsoever he shall please.
22 And thou accordingly, his son, O Baltasar, has not humbled thine heart before God: knowest thou not all this?
23 And thou has been exalted against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before thee the vessels of his house, and thou, and thy nobles, and thy mistresses, and thy concubines, have drunk wine out of them; and thou has praised the gods of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God in whose hand are thy breath, and all thy ways has thou not glorified.
24 Therefore from his presence has been sent forth the knuckle of a hand; and he has ordered the writing.
25 And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.
26 This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.
28 Phares; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.
