Daniel 4:17

4:17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;

this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,

so that29 those who are alive may understand

that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms,30

and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.

He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’

29	tc The present translation follows an underlying reading of עַל־דִּבְרַת (’al-divrat, “so that”) rather than MT עַד־דִּבְרַת (’ad-divrat, “until”).
30	tn Aram “the kingdom of man”; NASB “the realm of mankind”; NCV “every kingdom on earth.”
