The Feast

They brought in the goblets
Silver and gold, and drank wine from them
The king and his nobles
His wives and his concubines, they drank wine from them
They praised the gods of
Silver and gold, iron and stone
They raised their glasses
They honored bronze they honored wood
But as they feasted
The kings knees began to shake
His face grew pale and
Then his legs both gave way
A human hand appeared and wrote
High on the wall
MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN
The king said to Daniel
If you can say what this means
You will be made rich
And placed high over all of these
Daniel replied "King
You can keep your gifts for yourself
I will read these words and tell you what they mean
God has numbered the days
Of your reign and brought it to an end.
You've been weighed on the scales
And found wanting in the end
Your kingdom is divided
And given to Your enemies
God, the most high, gave your father glory and greatness and splendor!
But you did not humble yourself, you have not honored the Lord!
You praised the gods which do not see or hear or understand!
