Daniel 4:25
New English Translation
25 You will be driven[a] from human society,[b] and you will live[c] with the wild animals. You will be fed[d] grass like oxen,[e] and you will become damp with the dew of the sky. Seven periods of time will pass by for you, before[f] you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.
