1. 'weighed...and found wanting' Daniel 5:27.....use |
|
(from the New International Version translation)
NOTE: this happened during the Babylonian captivity
...But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
25 "This is the inscription that was written: Mene , Mene , Tekel , Parsin 26 "This is what these words mean: Mene : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
