Daniel 4:15-17

Contemporary English Version

‘Make sure that this ruler
    lives like the animals
out in the open fields,
    unprotected from the dew.
¹⁶ Give him the mind
of a wild animal
    for seven long years.^[a]
17 This punishment is given
at the command
    of the holy angels.^[b]
It will show to all who live
that God Most High
    controls all kingdoms
and chooses for their rulers
    persons of humble birth.’
