Chatty chatty mouth,
You want to know your culture

You both belittle humble
Also fight against the meek. |

thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL;
Thou art weighed in the balances, and
art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom
is divided, and given to the Medes and
Persians.

Luke 13:24-27
- Strive to enter in at
the strait gate: for many, I say unto
you, will seek to enter in, and shall not
be able. When once the master of the
house is risen up, and hath shut to
the door, and ye begin to stand
without, and to knock at the door,
saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and
he shall answer and say unto you, I
know you not whence ye are: Then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten
and drunk in thy presence, and
thou hast taught in our streets. But
he shall say, I tell you, I know you
not whence ye are; depart from me,
all ye workers of iniquity. |
And won't you
hear me:
Chatty chatty mouth,
Be wise and know your culture.... |

Note:
The quotation from the book of Daniel is a reference to
the well known story of Belshazzar's
feast in Babylon. (Read the full
account in Daniel
chapter 5.)
King Belshazzar was holding a banquet, during which he
drunkenly defiled the sacred vessels from the temple in
Jerusalem, and worshipped idols. Suddenly, a disembodied
hand appeared, writing on the wall. The king was
terrified and summoned his wise men to interpret the
writing, but only Daniel
the Israelite could do so.
He read out the words MENE, MENE, TEKEL,
UPHARSIN:
A 'mene' (or 'mina') was a weight for
measuring produce. A 'tekel' (or 'shekel') was a coin
weight. The word 'parsin' (the conjunction 'u' in the
expression 'upharsin' simply means 'and') is the plural
of 'peres', 'scatteration'. There is also an element of
word-play, since 'parsin' comes from the same root as 'Persian'.
... Thus, Daniel interpretted the graffiti as implying, 'Thou
art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. ...
Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and
Persians'. This prophecy foretold the
imminent destruction of Babylon.
It is commonly thought that the ominous writing on the
wall was written in the Aramaic
language. If so, it would have been readable by the
guests at the feast. However, even then, it was clearly a
riddle that only Daniel's divine insight could interpret.
