Daniel 4:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Your Majesty, God Most High has sent you this message, and it means ²⁵ that you will be forced to live with the wild animals, far away from humans. You will eat grass like a wild animal and live outdoors for seven years,^[a] until you learn that God Most High controls all earthly kingdoms and chooses their rulers. ²⁶ But he gave orders not to disturb the stump and roots. This is to show that you will be king once again, after you learn that the God who rules from heaven is in control.
