Daniel 5:17-31
Then Daniel answered the king,“ You may keep your gifts, and give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription for the king and make the interpretation known to him.Your Majesty, the Most High God gave sovereignty, greatness, glory, and majesty to your predecessor Nebuchadnezzar.Because of the greatness He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages were terrified and fearful of him. He killed anyone he wanted and kept alive anyone he wanted; he exalted anyone he wanted and humbled anyone he wanted.But when his heart was exalted and his spirit became arrogant, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken from him.He was driven away from people, his mind was like an animal’s, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with dew from the sky until he acknowledged that the Most High God is ruler over the kingdom of men and sets anyone He wants over it.“ But you his successor, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them, you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in His hand and who controls the whole course of your life.Therefore, He sent the hand, and this writing was inscribed.“ This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.This is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.TEKEL means that you have been weighed in the balance and found deficient.PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”Then Belshazzar gave an order, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.That very night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was killed,and Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of 62.

James 2:1-9
My brothers, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.For example, a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and a poor man dressed in dirty clothes also comes in.If you look with favor on the man wearing the fine clothes and say,“ Sit here in a good place,” and yet you say to the poor man,“ Stand over there,” or,“ Sit here on the floor by my footstool,”haven’t you discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?Listen, my dear brothers: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?Yet you dishonored that poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?Don’t they blaspheme the noble name that was pronounced over you at your baptism?Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well.But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
