This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.” - Daniel 5:27,28
Wow! The King of Babylon had had a disturbing dream and wanted to know what it meant. God had given Daniel the ability to interpret dreams, and He expected him to use it - even with the king, even if they were not nice words to make friends and influence people. From the King's reaction, I don't think Daniel was nasty about it, just honest. God still calls on us to speak the truth today, even when unpopular.
