Daniel 5:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ “And here is what these words mean.

“The word Mene means that God has limited the time of your rule. He has brought it to an end.

²⁷ “The word Tekel means that you have been weighed on scales. And you haven’t measured up to God’s standard.

²⁸ “The word Peres means that your authority over your kingdom will be taken away from you. It will be given to the Medes and Persians.”
