O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom and greatness and glory and majesty.
19 And from greatness the which he gave to him all peoples the nations the and languages the they were (trembling *Q(k)*) and fearing from before him whom he was pleased he was killing and whom he was pleased he was letting live and whom he was pleased he was lifting up and whom he was pleased he was bringing low.
And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he wanted, he killed, and whom he wanted, he kept alive, and whom he wanted, he raised up, and whom he wanted, he put down.
20 And as that it rose up heart his and spirit his it grew strong to act presumptuously he was deposed from [the] throne of kingdom his and honor the they removed from him.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne. And they took his glory from him,
21 And away from [the] sons of humankind he was chased and heart his - with animal[s] the (they made *Q(K)*) and [was] with wild donkeys the dwelling place his grass like oxen they fed him and from [the] dew of heavens the body his it became wet until that he knew that [was] having mastery God (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will appoint (over it. *Q(K)*)
and he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 (And you *Q(k)*) son his O Belshazzar not you have brought low heart your as to because that all this you knew.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled thy heart, though thou knew all this,
23 And against [the] lord of heavens the - you have lifted yourself up and vessels the of house his they have brought (before you and you and nobles your *Q(k)*) wives your and concubines your wine [are] drinking with them and [the] gods of silver and gold bronze iron wood and stone who not [are] seeing and not [are] hearing and not [are] knowing you have praised and God the who breath your [is] in hand his and all ways your [are] to him not you have glorified.
but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them. And thou have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, thou have not glorified.
