Daniel 5:21-23

21He was also 1driven away from 2mankind, and his heart was made like that of animals, 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, even though you knew all this,

23but you have 7risen up against the 8Lord 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 out of them; and you have praised the 9gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor understand. But the God 10in whose hand are your life-breath and all your 11ways, you have not glorified.
