20 (A)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 (B)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, (C)till he [a]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, (D)have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 (E)And you have [b]lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the (F)vessels of [c]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, (G)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (H)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

22 this is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him:

“The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind your back!

23 “Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice,
And lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And said, ‘By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
25 I have dug and drunk water,
And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of [a]defense.’

26 “Did you not hear (A)long ago
How I made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power;
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As the grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.

28 “But I know your dwelling place,
Your going out and your coming in,
And your rage against Me.
29 Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore (B)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will (C)turn you back
By the way which you came.” ’

22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:

“Virgin Daughter(A) Zion(B)
    despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
    tosses her head(C) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(D)
    Against whom have you raised your voice(E)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(F)
    Against the Holy One(G) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
    ‘With my many chariots(H)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights(I) of Lebanon.(J)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.(K)
I have reached its remotest heights,
    the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
    and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
    I have dried up(L) all the streams of Egypt.(M)

26 “Have you not heard?
    Long ago I ordained(N) it.
In days of old I planned(O) it;
    now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
    into piles of stone.(P)
27 Their people, drained of power,
    are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
    like tender green shoots,
like grass(Q) sprouting on the roof,(R)
    scorched[b] before it grows up.

    and when you come and go(S)
    and how you rage(T) against me.
29 Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence(U) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook(V) in your nose(W)

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has [a]performed all His work (A)on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, (B)“I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.”

Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
And have robbed their treasuries;
