Daniel 4:32-37

32and 1you 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 2seven 3periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the 4Most 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 5driven 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 6that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my 7reason returned to me, and I blessed the 8Most High and praised and honored 9Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an 10everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.3511All the inhabitants of the earth are of no account, But 12He does according to His will among the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And 13no one can 14fend off His hand Or say to Him, ‘15What have You done?’ 36At that time my 1617reason returned to me. And my majesty and 18splendor were 19restored 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 20sovereignty, and surpassing 21greatness was added to me. 37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and honor the King of 22heaven, for 23all His works are 24true and His ways 25just; and He is able to humble those who 26walk in pride.”
