Daniel 4:25-32

25You will be driven awayH2957 fromH4481 mankindH606, and your dwellingH4070 will beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251. You will feed onH2939 grassH6211 like an oxH8450 and be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 you byH5922, untilH5705H1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 the Most HighH5943 rulesH7990 over the kingdomH4437 of mankindH606 and gives itH5415 to whomH4479H1768 He wishesH6634.

26As forH1768 the commandH560 to leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 ofH1768 the treeH363 with its rootsH8330, your kingdomH4437 will be restoredH7011 to youH4481 as soon asH1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 HeavenH8065 rulesH7990. 27ThereforeH2006, may my adviceH4431 be pleasingH8232 to youH5922, O kingH4430. Break awayH6562 from your sinsH2408 by doing what is rightH6665, and from your iniquitiesH5758 by showing mercyH2604 to the oppressedH6033. PerhapsH2006 there will beH1934 an extensionH754 of your prosperityH7963.”

28AllH3606 this happenedH4291 toH5922 KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020. 29TwelveH8648H6236 monthsH3393 laterH7118, as he wasH1934 walkingH1981 onH5922 the roof of the royal palaceH1965H4437 ofH1768 BabylonH895, 30the kingH4430H560 exclaimedH6032, “Is thisH1668H1932 notH3809 BabylonH895 the GreatH7229, whichH1768 I myselfH576 have builtH1124 as a royalH4437 residenceH1005 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632 and for the gloryH3367 of my majestyH1923?”

31While the wordsH4406 were stillH5751 in the king’sH4430 mouthH6433, a voiceH7032 cameH5308 fromH4481 heavenH8065: “It is decreedH560 to you, KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, that the kingdomH4437 has departedH5709 from youH4481. 32You will be driven awayH2957 fromH4481 mankindH606 to liveH4070 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, and you will feed onH2939 grassH6211 like an oxH8450. And sevenH7655 timesH5732 will passH2499 you byH5922, untilH5705H1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 the Most HighH5943 rulesH7990 over the kingdomH4437 of mankindH606 and gives itH5415 to whomH4479H1768 He wishesH6634.”
