Daniel 4:34-37
New Living Translation
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34 “After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.
His rule is everlasting,
and his kingdom is eternal.
35 All the people of the earth
are nothing compared to him.
He does as he pleases
among the angels of heaven
and among the people of the earth.
No one can stop him or say to him,
‘What do you mean by doing these things?’
36 “When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before.
37 “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”
Daniel 4:34-37
New American Standard Bible
34 “But at the end of [a]that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my [b]reason returned to me, and I blessed the (A)Most High and praised and honored (B)Him who lives forever;
For His dominion is an (C)everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
35 (D)All the inhabitants of the earth are of no account,
But (E)He does according to His will among the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And (F)no one can [c]fend off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘(G)What have You done?’
36 At that time my [d](H)reason returned to me. And my majesty and (I)splendor were [e]restored to me for the honor of my kingdom, and my state counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my [f]sovereignty, and surpassing (J)greatness was added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and honor the King of (K)heaven, for (L)all His works are [g]true and His ways [h]just; and He is able to humble those who (M)walk in pride.”
