37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, jpraise and extol and honor the kKing of heaven, lfor all his works are right and his ways are just; and mthose who walk in pride he is able to humble.Daniel 5:20-24
20But nwhen his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, ohe was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 pHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, quntil he knew that the rMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22And you his son, ▼▼Or successor
tBelshazzar, uhave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23but you have lifted up yourself against vthe Lord of heaven. And wthe 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. xAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ybut the God in whose hand is your breath, and zwhose are all your ways, aayou have not honored. 24“Then from his presence abthe hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.
