25 Voici l’écriture qui a été tracée: Compté, compté, pesé, et divisé.

26 Et voici l’explication de ces mots. Compté: Dieu a compté ton règne, et y a mis fin.

27 Pesé: Tu as été pesé dans la balance, et tu as été trouvé léger.

28 Divisé: Ton royaume sera divisé, et donné aux Mèdes et aux Perses.

29 Aussitôt Belschatsar donna des ordres, et l’on revêtit Daniel de pourpre, on lui mit au cou un collier d’or, et on publia qu’il aurait la troisième place dans le gouvernement du royaume.
