²⁶ And in that they said to ^(A)leave the stump ^[a]with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will endure for you after you know that it is ^(B)Heaven that rules with power.

²³ but you have ^(A)raised yourself up against the ^(B)Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the ^(C)gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear, or know. But the God ^(D)in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ^(E)ways, you have not honored.
