181O kingH4430, the 2MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426 3grantedH3052 4sovereigntyH4437, 5greatnessH7238, honorH3367, and majestyH1923 to NebuchadnezzarH5020 your fatherH2.

19Now becauseH4481 of the greatnessH7238 whichH1768 He grantedH3052 him, allH3606 the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and populations of all 6languagesH3961 trembledH2112 and fearedH1763 in his presenceH6925; 7whomeverH1768 he wishedH6634, he killedH6992, and whomeverH1768 he wishedH6634, he sparedH2418 aliveH2418; and whomeverH1768 he wishedH6634 he elevatedH7313, and whomeverH1768 he wishedH6634 he humbledH8214.

20But whenH1768 his heartH3825 8was 9arrogantH7313 and his spiritH7308 becameH8631 so 1011overbearingH8631 that he behavedH2103 presumptuouslyH2103, he was 12deposedH5182 from his royalH4437 throneH3764, and his dignityH3367 was takenH5709 awayH5709 from him.
