27:004:023 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down
           from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it;
           yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even
           with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the
           field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his
           portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass
           over him;

27:004:024 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of
           the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 

27:004:025 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be
           with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat
           grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven,
           and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the
           most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to
           whomsoever he will.

27:004:026 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree
           roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou
           shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

27:004:027 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and
           break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by
           shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy
           tranquillity.

27:004:028 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

27:004:029 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the
           kingdom of Babylon.

27:004:030 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I
           have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my
           power, and for the honour of my majesty?

27:004:031 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice
           from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is
           spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

27:004:032 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be
           with the beasts of the field:  they shall make thee to eat
           grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until
           thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and
           giveth it to whomsoever he will.

27:004:033 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar:  and
           he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his
           body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown
           like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

27:004:034 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine
           eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and
           I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that
           liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion,
           and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
