A man who could give him piece of mind 
 
But Daniel the prophet, the man of God 
He saw the writing on the wall in blood 
Belshazzar asked him what it said 
And Daniel turned to the wall and read 
 
"My friend your weighed in the balance and found wanting 
Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand 
Your weighed in the balance and found wanting 
Your houses were built upon the sand"

Here is the scripture from the Bible (KJV) that 
"Belshazzer" by Johnny Cash is based on: 
 
Daniel 5:1-Belshazzar the king made a great  
feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine 
before the thousand. 
 
Daniel 5:4-8- They drank wine and praised the gods  
of gold, and silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of 
stone. 
 
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man, and 
wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster 
of the wall of the king's palace: and Belshazzar saw  
the part of the hand that wrote. 
 
Then the king's countenance was charged, 
and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his 
loins were loosed, and his knees smote against one another. 
Belshazzar cried out loud to bring in the astrologers, the  
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said 
Whoever can read this writing and explain it to me, you will 
be clothed in scarlet, and have a chain of gold around his neck 
and be the third ruler of Babylon. 
 
Then the wise men were brought in and could not read the writing. 
 
Daniel 5:12-An excellent spirit, the knowledge, and understanding, 
and showing of hard sentences and his name was Daniel. (He was  
brought before the king) 
 
Daniel 5: 24-28 - Then was the part of the hand sent from him; 
and this writing was written. 
 
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Opharsin. 
 
This is the translation: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom 
and finished it. 
 
Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 
 
Opharsin; Thy kingdom is divided.
