19 And because of the greatness that he gave him, (A)all peoples, nations, and languages (B)trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled. 20 But (C)when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, (D)he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 (E)He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (F)until he knew that the (G)Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son,[a] (H)Belshazzar, (I)have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against (J)the Lord of heaven. And (K)the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. (L)And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, (M)but the God in whose hand is your breath, and (N)whose are all your ways, (O)you have not honored.
