¹⁴ For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “I have put a ^(A)yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall ^(B)serve him. And ^(C)I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”

³⁸ and wherever the sons of mankind live, or the ^(A)animals of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has handed them over to you and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.
