Daniel 4:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ But leave the stump and its roots in the ground with a band of iron and bronze around it; let it stay in the field with the grass around it.

“‘Let the man become wet with dew, and let him live among the animals and plants of the earth. ¹⁶ Let him not think like a human any longer, but let him have the mind of an animal for seven years.

¹⁷ “‘The observers gave this command; the holy ones declared the sentence. This is so all people may know that the Most High God rules over every kingdom on earth. God gives those kingdoms to anyone he wants, and he chooses people to rule them who are not proud.’
