Message: 34 When these days of exile came to an end, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven and came to my senses. I blessed the Most High God and praised and gave glory to the One who lives eternally:

    “His reign will endure forever;
        His kingdom will last from generation to generation.
35     Among all the people of the earth,
        there are none who compare.
    He does as He wishes with the armies of heaven
        and those who live on earth.
    No one can stop His hand from acting;
        no one dares to ask, ‘What have You done?’”

36 It was in that moment that I came to my senses. Soon my honor and splendor were restored as Daniel predicted, and the former glory of my kingdom returned. Those who had served me before, my advisors and officials, sought me and returned me to the throne of Babylon. In time my kingdom and power grew even greater than it was before.

34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity(A) was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.(B)

His dominion is an eternal dominion;
    his kingdom(C) endures from generation to generation.(D)
35 All the peoples of the earth
    are regarded as nothing.(E)
He does as he pleases(F)
    with the powers of heaven
    and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back(G) his hand(H)
    or say to him: “What have you done?”(I)

36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom.(J) My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.
