¹⁴ He cried aloud^[a] and so he said:

²² —it is you, O king, who have grown great and you have grown strong, and so your greatness has increased and it has reached to heaven^[a] and your sovereignty to the end of the earth.

²⁵ you will be driven away from human society^[a] and you will dwell^[b] with the animals^[c] of the field, and you will be caused to graze grass like the oxen yourself,^[d] and you will be watered with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time will pass over you until that you have acknowledged that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whom he wills^[e] he gives it.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace^[a] of Babylon.

³² and you will be driven away from human society^[a] and your dwelling will be with the animals^[b] of the field and they will cause you to graze the grass like oxen, and seven times will pass over you, until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind and that he gives it to whom he wills.’

²¹ And he was driven away from human society^[a] and his mind was made like the animals^[b] and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and he was given^[c] grass like oxen to eat, and with^[d] the dew of heaven his body was bathed, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and whoever^[e] he wants he sets over it.
