Daniel:4:30-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The king spoke ,
saying , "
Is not this great Babylon ,
that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty ?"
*
While the word was still in the king '
s mouth ,
a voice fell from heaven : "
King Nebuchadnezzar ,
to you it is spoken :
the kingdom has departed from you !
*
And they shall drive you from men ,
and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field .
They shall make you eat grass like oxen ;
and seven times shall pass over you ,
until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men ,
and gives it to whomever He chooses ."
*
That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar ;
he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen ;
his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles '
feathers and his nails like birds '
claws .
*
And at the end of the time I ,
Nebuchadnezzar ,
lifted my eyes to heaven ,
and my understanding returned to me ;
and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever :
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion ,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation .
*
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing ;
He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth .
No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him , "
What have You done ?"
*
At the same time my reason returned to me ,
and for the glory of my kingdom ,
my honor and splendor returned to me .
My counselors and nobles resorted to me ,
I was restored to my kingdom ,
and excellent majesty was added to me .
*
Now I ,
Nebuchadnezzar ,
praise and extol and honor the King of heaven ,
all of whose works are truth ,
and His ways justice .
And those who walk in pride He is able to put down .
