In this instance. You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found out wanting. (c) A Knights Tale

Actually, (c) the Bible - specifically Daniel 5:25, where the quote is first given in the original Aramaic (“Mene, mene, tekel, parsin”) then interpreted by Daniel for the benefit of Belshazzar, a Babylonian king who was understandably perturbed when a disembodied hand appeared, and wrote them on his dining room wall:
Quote:
”Here is what these words mean:
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.” (Daniel 5:26-28)
