⁵ It was I who, by my great power and my outstretched arm, made the earth as well as the people and the animals that inhabit the earth, and I can give it to whomever I wish.

⁶ Now, at the present time, I have given all these lands to my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and I have even made the wild animals subject to him. ⁷ All nations will serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his land will also come, and mighty nations and great kings will make him their slave.
