Daniel 4:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ “Let his ^[a]mind be changed from that of a man
And let a beast’s ^[b]mind be given to him,
And let ^(A)seven ^[c]periods of time pass over him.
¹⁷ “This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers
And the decision is a command of the holy ones,
In order that the living may ^(B)know
That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind,
And ^(C)bestows it on whom He wishes
And sets over it the ^(D)lowliest of men.”
