Daniel 5:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ “The Supreme God made your father Nebuchadnezzar a great king and gave him dignity and majesty. ¹⁹ He was so great that people of all nations, races, and languages were afraid of him and trembled. If he wanted to kill someone, he did; if he wanted to keep someone alive, he did. He honored or disgraced anyone he wanted to. ²⁰ But because he became proud, stubborn, and cruel, he was removed from his royal throne and lost his place of honor.
