Daniel 4:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man,
and let him be given the mind of an animal
for seven periods of time.[a][b](A)
17 This word is by decree of the observers;
the matter is a command from the holy ones.
This is so the living will know
that the Most High is ruler
over the kingdom of men.
He gives it to anyone He wants
and sets the lowliest of men over it.(B)
18 This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can make the interpretation known to me.(C) But you can, because you have the spirit of the holy gods.”
