Daniel 4:30-32
New American Standard Bible
30 The king began speaking and was saying, ‘Is this not Babylon the (A)great, which I myself have built as a royal [a]residence by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?’ 31 While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice [b]came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: [c]sovereignty has been removed from you, 32 and (B)you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the animals of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and (C)seven [d]periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the (D)Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’

New International Version
30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory(A) of my majesty?”(B)
31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you.(C) 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”(D)
