Daniel 4:16-18
New King James Version
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man,
Let him be given the heart of a beast,
And let seven (A)times[a] pass over him.
17 ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,
In order (B)that the living may know
(C)That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
(D)Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the (E)lowest of men.’
18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, (F)since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, (G)for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.”
