“For there is hope for a tree,
    if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
    and that its shoots will not cease.

25 (A)that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be made (B)to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and (C)seven periods of time shall pass over you, till (D)you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. 26 And as it was commanded (E)to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules. 27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by (F)practicing righteousness, (G)and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, (H)that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.”

And I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations.
