Daniel 5:20

Daniel Deciphers And Interprets The Writing

¹⁹ Due to the greatness that he bestowed on him, all peoples, nations, and language groups were trembling with fear before him. He killed whom he wished, he spared whom he wished, he exalted whom he wished, and he brought low whom he wished. ²⁰ And when his mind became arrogant and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him. ²¹ He was driven from human society, his mind was changed to that of an animal, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.
