Daniel 4:30

Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation

28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking¹ about the royal palace of Babylon.

30 The king ^aspoke, 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?”

31 ^aWhile the word was still in the king’s mouth, ^ba voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

32 And ^athey 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 seven¹ 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.”

33 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.

Daniel 4:28-31

God finally says, enough is enough. It is time to show you who is really in charge here—and brings Nebuchadnezzar to the lowest of lows. I can only imagine the humiliation of not only the act itself here, but returning to Babylon after all that time when his reason returns, the shame he must have felt seeing those people that he knew that used to serve under him, welcoming him back.
