Daniel 5:20-22
Living Bible
20 But when his heart and mind were hardened in pride, God removed him from his royal throne and took away his glory. 21 He was chased out of his palace into the fields. His thoughts and feelings became those of an animal, and he lived among the wild donkeys; he ate grass like the cows, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until at last he knew that the Most High overrules the kingdoms of men and appoints anyone he desires to reign over them.
22 “And you, his successor, O Belshazzar—you knew all this, yet you have not been humble.
