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.

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

34 And aat 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 bwho lives forever:
For His dominion is can everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation. 
35 aAll the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
bHe does according to His will in the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of the earth.
cNo one can restrain His hand
Or say to Him, d“What have You done?”  
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, aand for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was brestored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was cadded to me.  
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, apraise and extol and honor the King of heaven, ball of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. cAnd those who walk in pride He is able to put down.
