Bible. Daniel
27:004:025 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be
with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat
grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven,
and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the
most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to
whomsoever he will.
27:004:026 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree
roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou
shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
27:004:027 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and
break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by
shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy
tranquillity.
27:004:028 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
27:004:029 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the
kingdom of Babylon.
27:004:030 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?
27:004:031 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.
27:004:032 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.
27:004:033 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.
27:004:034 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:
27:004:035 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?
27:004:036 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.
