1 ^{▼▼Ch 3:31 in Aramaic} King Nebuchadnezzar to all ^bpeoples, nations, and languages, ^cthat dwell in all the earth: ^dPeace be multiplied to you! 2 It has seemed good to me to show the ^esigns and wonders that the ^fMost High God has done for me.

Daniel 4:32-37

32 ^kand you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, ^luntil you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.” 33 Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. ^mHe was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles’ feathers, and his nails were like birds’ claws.

Nebuchadnezzar Restored

34 ⁿAt the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and ^omy reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored ^phim who lives forever,

^qfor his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and ^rhis kingdom endures from generation to generation;
35 ^sall the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and ^the does according to his will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
^uand none can stay his hand
or ^vsay to him, “What have you done?”
36 At the same time ^wmy reason returned to me, and for ^xthe glory of my kingdom, ^ymy majesty and splendor returned to me. ^zMy counselors and ^aamy lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was ^abadded to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, ^acpraise and extol and honor the ^adKing of heaven, ^aefor all his works are right and his ways are just; and ^afthose who walk in pride he is able to humble.
