³¹ While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice ^[a]came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: ^[b]sovereignty has been removed from you, ³² and ^(A)you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the animals of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and ^(B)seven ^[c]periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the ^(C)Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’ ³³ Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was ^(D)driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
