Daniel 5:27
_ _ weighed in the balances — The Egyptians thought that Osiris weighed the actions of the dead in a literal balance. The Babylonians may have had the same notion, which would give a peculiar appropriateness to the image here used.
_ _ found wanting — too light before God, the weigher of actions (1 Samuel 2:3; Psalms 62:9). Like spurious gold or silver (Jeremiah 6:30). |
Daniel 5:27
Art found wanting — There is no weight nor worth in thee; thou hast made light of God, and the Lord makes light of thee. |
