Daniel 5:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Sir, the Most High God made your father a great and powerful man and brought him much honor and glory. ¹⁹ God did such great things for him that people of all nations and races shook with fear.

Your father had the power of life or death over everyone, and he could honor or ruin anyone he chose. ²⁰ But when he became proud and stubborn, his glorious kingdom was taken from him.
