Judges 11:21-24
21And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country. 22And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan. 23So then the Lord, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them? 24Will you not possess what aChemosh your god gives you to possess? bAnd all that the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess.Jeremiah 27:5-7
5“It is I who cby my great power and my outstretched arm dhave made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, eand I give it to whomever it seems right to me. 6 fNow I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, gmy servant, hand I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. 7 iAll the nations shall serve him and jhis son and khis grandson, luntil the time of his own land comes. mThen many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.Daniel 4:25-32
25 nthat you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be made oto eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and pseven periods of time shall pass over you, till qyou know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. 26And as it was commanded rto leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules. 27Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by spracticing righteousness, tand your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, uthat there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.”Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation
28All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30and the king answered and said, v“Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by wmy mighty power as a royal residence and for xthe glory of my majesty?” 31 yWhile 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 zand 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, aauntil you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.”Daniel 5:18
18O king, the abMost High God acgave adNebuchadnezzar your father aekingship and greatness and glory and majesty.
