21 and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses 'is' his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.
22 'And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;
23 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand 'is' thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.
24 'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;
25 and this 'is' the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
