25 "'...You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven.  Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is Sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes.

26 "'The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules....'

31 "The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven, 'This is what is decreed for you.

32 "'You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle.   Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is Sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes.'

33 "Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled.   He was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle.   His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

34 "'At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored.   Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified Him who lives non-ending.   His dominion is a never-ending dominion; His Kingdom endures from generation to generation....

36 "'At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom.   My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.'"
