Daniel 4:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ Let his mind be changed from that of a human,
    and let the mind of an animal be given to him.
    And let seven times pass over him.
¹⁷ The sentence is rendered by decree of the watchers,
    the decision is given by order of the holy ones,
in order that all who live may know
    that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of mortals;
he gives it to whom he will
    and sets over it the lowliest of human beings.”
