30The kingH4430 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and was sayingH560, ‘Is thisH1668 not BabylonH895 the 1greatH7229, whichH1768 I myselfH576 have builtH1124 as a royalH4437 2residenceH1005 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632 and for the honorH3367 of my majestyH1923?’ 31While the wordH4406 was stillH5751 in the king’sH4430 mouthH6433, a voiceH7032 3cameH5308 from heavenH8065, saying, ‘KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to you it is declaredH560: 4sovereigntyH4437 has beenH5709 removedH5709 from you, 32and 5you will be drivenH2957 awayH2957 from mankindH606, and your dwellingH4070 placeH4070 will be with the animalsH2423 of the fieldH1251. You will be givenH2939 grassH6212 toH2939 eatH2939 like cattleH8450, and 6sevenH7655 7periods of timeH5732 will passH2499 overH5922 you untilH5705H1768 you recognizeH3046 that the 8MostH5943 HighH5943 is rulerH7990 over the realmH4437 of mankindH606 and bestowsH5415 it on whomeverH4479H1768 He wishesH6634.’ 33ImmediatelyH8160 the wordH4406 concerningH5922 NebuchadnezzarH5020 was fulfilledH5487; and he was 9drivenH2957 awayH2957 from mankindH606 and began eatingH399 grassH6212 like cattleH8450, and his bodyH1655 was drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065 untilH5705H1768 his hairH8177 had grownH7236 like eagles’H5403 feathers and his nailsH2953 like birds’H6853 claws.

34“But at the endH7118 of 10that periodH3118, I, NebuchadnezzarH5020, raisedH5191 my eyesH5870 toward heavenH8065 and my 11reasonH4486 returnedH8421 to me, and I blessedH1289 the 12MostH5943 HighH5943 and praisedH7624 and honoredH1922 13Him whoH2417 livesH2417 foreverH5957; For His dominionH7985 is an 14everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, And His kingdomH4437 endures from generationH1859 to generationH1859.
