Daniel:4:28-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
While the word was yet in the king ’
s mouth ,
there came a voice from heaven ,
saying ,
To thee ,
king Nabuchodonosor ,
they say ,
The kingdom has departed from thee .
*
And they shall drive thee from men ,
and thy dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field ,
and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox :
and seven times shall pass over thee ,
until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men ,
and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please .
*
In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor :
and he was driven forth from men ,
and he ate grass as an ox ,
and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven ,
until his hairs were grown like lions ’
hairs ,
and his nails as birds ’
claws .
*
And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven ,
and my reason returned to me ,
and I blessed the Most High ,
and praised him that lives for ever ,
and gave him glory ;
for his dominion is an everlasting dominion ,
and his kingdom lasts to all generations :
*
and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing :
and he does according to his will in the (

force ,

army of heaven ,
and Gr .
in the habitation of the earth among the inhabitants of the earth :
and there is none who shall withstand his power ,
and say to him ,
What has thou done ?
*
At the same time my reason returned to me ,
and I came to the honour of my kingdom ;
and my natural form returned to me ,
and my princes ,
and my nobles ,
sought me ,
and I was established in my kingdom ,
and more abundant majesty was added to me .
*
Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven ;
for all his works are true ,
and his paths are judgement :
and all that walk in pride he is able to abase .
