18 O king, (A)the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your [a]father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor. 19 And because of the majesty that He gave him, (B)all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he (C)executed; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down. 20 (D)But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 21 Then he was (E)driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (F)till he [b]knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

22 “But you his son, Belshazzar, (G)have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 (H)And you have [c]lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the (I)vessels of [d]His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, (J)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (K)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you (A)according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
