30 the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty?
31 While the utterance is still in the mouth of the sovereign, a voice falls from the heavens, O sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar, to you they are saying; the sovereigndom passes from you;
32 and they expel you from men; and you whirl with the live beings of the field; and feed on herbage as bulls: and seven times pass over you; until you know that the Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills.
33 The same blink the utterance consummates on Nebukadnets Tsar: and he is expelled from men and feeds on herbage as bulls; and his body is dyed with the dew of the heavens, until his hairs greaten as eagles and his nails as birds.
34 And at the end of the days, I, Nebukadnets Tsar, lift my eyes to the heavens, and perception returns to me, and I bless Elyon, and I laud and esteem him who lives eternally - whose dominion is an eternal dominion and his sovereigndom from generation to generation:
35 and all who whirl on the earth are machinated as nought: and he does as he wills among the valiant of the heavens and they who whirl on the earth: and no one can strike his hand, or say to him, What serve you?
36 At the same appointment my perception returns to me; and for the esteem of my sovereigndom, my majesty and cheerfulness return to me; and my counsellors and my nobles request to me; and I am restored in my sovereigndom and excellent greatness is added to me.
37 Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.
