Daniel 5:20-21

20But when his heart was 1lifted up and his spirit became so 23proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was 4deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

21He was also 5driven away from 6mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the 7wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the 8Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.
