Daniel 4:16-18

New Century Version

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.’

¹⁸ “That is what I, King Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed. Now Belteshazzar,^[a] tell me what the dream means. None of the wise men in my kingdom can explain it to me, but you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
