Dan 4:27 | MHM | STEP | v. 27 : Daniel ended by giving the king wise advice. He said, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee : Daniel asked Nebuchadnezzar to listen kindly and not be offended. He told the king to stop sinning and do what is right. This meant treating people fairly and showing mercy to the poor, especially those he had oppressed. Daniel warned Nebuchadnezzar that if he changed his ways, maybe God would let him have peace longer, like how God delayed judgment for King Ahab when he humbled himself (1 Kings 21:29 ). Daniel could not promise the punishment would be stopped, but he hoped the king would listen and do what was good. It is wise to turn from pride and sin when God warns us.

‏ Daniel 4:27

v. 27: Daniel ended by giving the king wise advice. He said, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee: Daniel asked Nebuchadnezzar to listen kindly and not be offended. He told the king to stop sinning and do what is right. This meant treating people fairly and showing mercy to the poor, especially those he had oppressed. Daniel warned Nebuchadnezzar that if he changed his ways, maybe God would let him have peace longer, like how God delayed judgment for King Ahab when he humbled himself (1 Kings 21:29 ^a). Daniel could not promise the punishment would be stopped, but he hoped the king would listen and do what was good. It is wise to turn from pride and sin when God warns us.
