Daniel 5:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ “Your Majesty, the Most High God was good to your father Nebuchadnezzar. He gave him authority and greatness and glory and honor. ¹⁹ God gave him a high position. Then people from every nation became afraid of the king. That was true no matter what language they spoke. The king put to death anyone he wanted to. He spared anyone he wanted to spare. He gave high positions to anyone he wanted to. And he brought down anyone he wanted to bring down. ²⁰ But his heart became very stubborn and proud. So he was removed from his royal throne. His glory was stripped away from him.
