20“But when his heart was araised up and his spirit became so bstrong that he behaved arrogantly, he was cdeposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken away from him.

21“He was also adriven away from the sons of 1men, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his place of habitation was with the bwild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of the sky until he knew that the cMost High God is the powerful ruler over the kingdom of mankind and that He sets up over it whomever He wishes.

22“Yet you, his 1son, Belshazzar, have anot made your heart lowly, 2even though you knew all this,

23but you have araised yourself up against the bLord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the cgods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear, or know. But the God din whose hand are your life-breath and all your eways, you have not honored.
