Job 30:3-8
New King James Version
3 They are gaunt from want and famine,
Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,
4 Who pluck [a]mallow by the bushes,
And broom tree roots for their food.
5 They were driven out from among men,
They shouted at them as at a thief.
6 They had to live in the clefts of the [b]valleys,
In [c]caves of the earth and the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed,
Under the nettles they nestled.
8 They were sons of fools,
Yes, sons of vile men;
They were scourged from the land.
Mark 5:3-4
New King James Version
3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [a]him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.

Daniel 5:21-31
New King James Version
21 Then he was (A)driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (B)till he [a]knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.
22 “But you his son, Belshazzar, (C)have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 (D)And you have [b]lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the (E)vessels of [c]His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, (F)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (G)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. 24 Then the [d]fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
25 “And this is the inscription that was written:
[e]MENE, MENE, [f]TEKEL, [g]UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 TEKEL: (H)You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the (I)Medes and (J)Persians.”[h] 29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him (K)that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Belshazzar’s Fall
30 (L)That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain. 31 (M)And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

New King James Version
32 And (A)they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven [a]times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”
33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34 And (B)at the end of the [b]time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him (C)who lives forever:
For His dominion is (D)an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation.
35 (E)All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
(F)He does according to His will in the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of the earth.
(G)No one can restrain His hand
Or say to Him, (H)“What have You done?”
