Daniel 5:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.

¹⁸ O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.

¹⁹ And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
