And that night, Daniel tells us, at the height of the festivities a hand appeared and wrote on the wall, "You are weighed in the balance and found wanting, and your kingdom is handed over to the Medes and the Persians." And that very night Cyrus, king of the Persians, entered Babylon and the whole regime of Belshazzar fell.
Y esa noche, Daniel nos cuenta, que en el clímax de la fiesta una mano aparece escribiendo en la pared: "Fuiste pesado en balanza, y hallado falto, Tu reino ha sido roto y será dado a los medos y a los persas".
