The phrase, "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting" appears in the movie "A Knight's Tale."
This phrase appears to have been taken from the Biblical account of King Nebuchadnezzar in Chapter 5 of the book of Daniel:
25 "This is the inscription that was written:Mene , Mene , Tekel , Parsin [e]
26 "This is what these words mean:
Mene [f] : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel [g] : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
28 Peres [h] : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
This passage is also the origin of the phrase, "the writing on the wall."
