Daniel 4:24-28
New International Version
24 “This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree(A) the Most High has issued against my lord the king: 25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched(B) with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High(C) is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.(D) 26 The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots(E) means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules.(F) 27 Therefore, Your Majesty, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed.(G) It may be that then your prosperity(H) will continue.(I)”

24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: 25 They shall (A)drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you (B)eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven [a]times shall pass over you, (C)till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and (D)gives it to whomever He chooses.
26 “And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that (E)Heaven[b] rules. 27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; (F)break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. (G)Perhaps there may be (H)a [c]lengthening of your prosperity.”
