Ezekiel 28:2

2 aSon of man, say to bthe prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

c“Because your heart is proud,
and dyou have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet eyou are but a man, and no god,
fthough you make your heart like the heart of a god

Daniel 4:31-32

31 gWhile the words were still in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you, 32 hand 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, iuntil you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.”

Daniel 5:23-30

23but you have lifted up yourself against jthe Lord of heaven. And kthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. lAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, mbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and nwhose are all your ways, oyou have not honored.

24Then from his presence pthe hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered
 Mene sounds like the Aramaic for  numbered
the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;
27Tekel, ryou have been weighed
 Tekel sounds like the Aramaic for  weighed
in the balances and found wanting;
28Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to tthe Medes and uPersians.”
 Peres (the singular of  Parsin) sounds like the Aramaic for  divided and for Persia


29Then wBelshazzar gave the command, and Daniel xwas clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

30 yThat very night zBelshazzar the aaChaldean king was killed.

Acts 12:22-23

22And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23Immediately aban angel of the Lord struck him down, because ache did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
