Daniel 4:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 here is its meaning, O king, here is the sentence that the Most High has passed upon my lord king: 22 (A)You shall be cast out from human society and dwell with wild beasts; you shall be given grass to eat like an ox and be bathed with the dew of heaven; seven years shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is sovereign over human kingship and gives it to whom he will. 23 The command that the stump of the tree is to be left means that your kingdom shall be preserved for you, once you have learned that heaven is sovereign.
