Daniel 5:21-23
21He was also 1driven away from 2mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the 3wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the 4Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.
22Yet you, his 5son, Belshazzar, have 6not humbled your heart, 7even though you knew all this,
23but you have 8exalted yourself against the 9Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the 10gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God 11in whose hand are your life-breath and all your 12ways, you have not glorified.
