Daniel 4:28-36

28“All of this 1happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. 292Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. 30The king began speaking and was saying, ‘Is this not Babylon the 3great, which I myself have built as a royal 4residence by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?’ 31While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice 5came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: 6sovereignty has been removed from you, 32and 7you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the animals of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and 8seven 9periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the 10Most 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 11driven 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 12that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my 13reason returned to me, and I blessed the 14Most High and praised and honored 15Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an 16everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.3517All the inhabitants of the earth are of no account, But 18He does according to His will among the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And 19no one can 20fend off His hand Or say to Him, ‘21What have You done?’ 36At that time my 2223reason returned to me. And my majesty and 24splendor were 25restored to me for the honor of my kingdom, and my state counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my 26sovereignty, and surpassing 27greatness was added to me.
