25 They shall (A)drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you (B)eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven [a]times shall pass over you, (C)till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and (D)gives it to whomever He chooses.

26 “And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that (E)Heaven[b] rules. 27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; (F)break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. (G)Perhaps there may be (H)a [c]lengthening of your prosperity.”
