Daniel 5:20-28

Rotherham(i) 20 But, when uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they from him; 21 And, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass––like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched––until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it. 22 And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest; 23 but, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised,––whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified. 24 Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand,––and, this writing, was inscribed: 25 And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u–Pharsin. 26 This, is the interpretation of the thing,––M’ne[=" Reckoned–up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it: 27 T’kel[=" Weighed"], ––thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 P’res[=" Snatched–away"], ––snatched away is thy kingdom, and given to the Medes and Persians.
