Daniel 4:25-27

International Standard Version

²⁵ You’ll be driven from people, and you’ll live among wild animals of the field. You’ll eat grass like cattle and be soaked with the dew of the sky while seven years pass you by^[a]—until you realize that the Most High is sovereign over human kingdoms and grants them to whomever he desires. ²⁶ Just as it was ordered to leave the stump of the tree in the ground^[b] along with its roots, so your kingdom will be restored to you when you realize that Heaven rules over everything.^{[c] 27} Therefore, your majesty, may my advice be acceptable to you: Stop your sinning, do what’s right, and put a stop to your wickedness by showing kindness to the oppressed. Perhaps your tranquility will continue.”
