He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.

You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them.

Here is what these words mean: MENE: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.” —Daniel 5:21-26(NIV)

See things from his perspective. —Colossians 3:1-2 (The Message)

Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting (lacking). —Daniel 5:27
The Lord detests double standards; He is not pleased by dishonest scales. —Proverbs 20:23 (NLT)
