Daniel 4:24-30

New King James Version

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.”

²⁸ All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. ²⁹ At the end of the twelve months he was walking ^[d]about the royal palace of Babylon. ³⁰ The king ^(I)spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”
