Then came the hand of anger from the Lord,
And in thy feasting hour against the wall
It wrote; and word by word I will declare
The writing and assurance of thy doom.
Mene.
Thy kingdom God hath numbered out
And finished it henceforward from the earth.
Tekel.
Thou in the balances art weighed,
And God hath found thee wanting utterly.
Peres.
Thy kingdom is divided: God
Hath given it to the Persians and the Medes.
And in thy feasting hour against the wall
It wrote; and word by word I will declare
The writing and assurance of thy doom.
Mene.
Thy kingdom God hath numbered out
And finished it henceforward from the earth.
Tekel.
Thou in the balances art weighed,
And God hath found thee wanting utterly.
Peres.
Thy kingdom is divided: God
Hath given it to the Persians and the Medes.
