“Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” literally means “numbered, numbered, weighed, divided”.

Just be clear, it does not mean “Whoever reads, let him understand.”

You probably know that, but for they way you’ve written it, it isn’t clear you’re not saying that.

Italics, for emphasis. If anybody in here is going to assume that the words in italics are a translation [of Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin], then yikes, it's even worse than I thought.

Well, what can you do.. :-/
