Daniel:4:28-37

*
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar .
*
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon .
*
The king spake ,
and said ,
Is not this great Babylon ,
that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power ,
and for the honour of my majesty ?
*
While the word was in the king '
s mouth ,
there fell a voice from heaven ,
saying ,
O king Nebuchadnezzar ,
to thee it is spoken ;
The kingdom is departed from thee .
*
And they shall drive thee from men ,
and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field :
they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen ,
and seven times shall pass over thee ,
until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men ,
and giveth it to whomsoever he will .
*
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar :
and he was driven from men ,
and did eat grass as oxen ,
and his body was wet with the dew of heaven ,
till his hairs were grown like eagles '
feathers ,
and his nails like birds '
claws .
*
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven ,
and mine understanding returned unto me ,
and I blessed the most High ,
and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever ,
whose dominion is an everlasting dominion ,
and his kingdom is from generation to generation :
*
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing :
and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven ,
and among the inhabitants of the earth :
and none can stay his hand ,
or say unto him ,
What doest thou ?
*
At the same time my reason returned unto me ;
and for the glory of my kingdom ,
mine honour and brightness returned unto me ;
and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me ;
and I was established in my kingdom ,
and excellent majesty was added unto me .
*
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven ,
all whose works are truth ,
and his ways judgment :
and those that walk in pride he is able to abase .
