Daniel 4:19-33 Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, let the dream concern those that hate you, and the interpretation of it to your enemies.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, let the dream concern those that hate you, and the interpretation of it to your enemies. ²⁰ The tree which you saw, which grew large and strong, whose height reached to the heavens, and its extent to all parts of the earth, ²¹ and whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was food for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter in its branches) ²² is you, O king; for you have grown great and powerful, and your greatness has increased and reached to the heavens, and your dominion to the ends of the earth. ²³ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and bind it with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the outer grass, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it. ²⁴ This is the interpretation of it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: ²⁵ and they shall drive you forth from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts, and they shall feed you with grass like an ox, and you shall have your lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses. ²⁶ And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be assured to you, from the time that you realize the power of the heavens. ²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel please you, and atone for your sins by alms, and your iniquities by compassion on the poor; perhaps God will be longsuffering toward your trespasses. ²⁸ All these things came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. ²⁹ After the twelfth month, as he walked in his palace in Babylon, ³⁰ the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honor of my glory? ³¹ While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, saying, King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken, The kingdom has departed from you. ³² And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed you with grass like an ox. And seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and He shall give it to whomever He chooses. ³³ In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass like an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hair had grown like the hair of a lion, and his nails as birds' claws.
