Daniel 4:25-27
Lexham English Bible
25 you will be driven away from human society[a] and you will dwell[b] with the animals[c] of the field, and you will be caused to graze grass like the oxen yourself,[d] and you will be watered with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time will pass over you until that you have acknowledged that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whom he wills[e] he gives it. 26 And in that[f] they said to leave alone the stump of the tree’s root, so your kingdom will be restored for you when[g] you acknowledge that heaven is sovereign. 27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you and your sin remove[h] with righteousness and your iniquity with having mercy on the oppressed, in case there might be a prolongation of your prosperity.’”[i]
