Daniel 4:30-34

30The king 1reflected and said, ‘Is this not Babylon the 2great, which I myself have built as a royal 3residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?’ 31While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice 4came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: 5sovereignty has been removed from you, 32and 6you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and 7seven 8periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the 9Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’ 33Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was 10driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

34“But at the end of 11that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my 12reason returned to me, and I blessed the 13Most High and praised and honored 14Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an 15everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
