Daniel 4:32-37
32and 1you 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 2sevenH7655 3periods of timeH5732 will passH2499 overH5922 you untilH5705H1768 you recognizeH3046 that the 4MostH5943 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 5drivenH2957 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 6that periodH3118, I, NebuchadnezzarH5020, raisedH5191 my eyesH5870 toward heavenH8065 and my 7reasonH4486 returnedH8421 to me, and I blessedH1289 the 8MostH5943 HighH5943 and praisedH7624 and honoredH1922 9Him whoH2417 livesH2417 foreverH5957; For His dominionH7985 is an 10everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, And His kingdomH4437 endures from generationH1859 to generationH1859.3511AllH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are of noH3809 accountH2804, But 12He doesH5648 accordingH4481 to His willH6634 among the armyH2429 of heavenH8065 And among the inhabitantsH1753 of earthH772; And 13noH3809 one can 14fendH4223 offH4223 His handH3028 Or sayH560 to Him, ‘15WhatH4101 have You doneH5648?’ 36At that timeH2166 my 1617reasonH4486 returnedH8421 to me. And my majestyH1923 and 18splendorH2122 were 19restoredH8421 to me for the honorH3367 of my kingdomH4437, and my stateH1907 counselorsH1907 and my noblesH7261 began seekingH1156 me outH1156; so I was reestablishedH8627 in my 20sovereigntyH4437, and surpassingH3493 21greatnessH7238 was addedH3255 to me. 37NowH3705 I, NebuchadnezzarH5020, praiseH7624, exaltH7313, and honorH1922 the KingH4430 of 22heavenH8065, for 23allH3606 His worksH4567 are 24trueH7187 and His waysH735 25justH1780; and He is ableH3202 to humbleH8214 those whoH1768 26walkH1981 in prideH1467.”
