Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Daniel 5

Deli

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of the heavens. The vessels from his house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them,  you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand.  But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in his hand and who controls the whole course of your life. 

“This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN. This is the interpretation of the message: ‘Mene’  means that God has numbered  the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.  ‘Tekel’  means that you have been weighed  on the balance and found deficient. ‘Peres’  , means that your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
