New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Daniel 5
24 Then the hand was sent from Him and this inscription was written out.
25 "Now this is the inscription that was written out: ’MENĒ, MENĒ, TEKĒL, UPHARSIN.’
26 This is the interpretation of the message: ’MENĒ’-God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.
27 ’TEKĒL’-you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
28 ’PERĒS’-your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."
29 Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
31 So Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.
Daniel 6
1 It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom,
2 and over them three commissioners (of whom Daniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
3 Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
