Whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept
alive; whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down. But when
his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed
from his kingly throne and his glory was taken from him; and he was
driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and
his dwelling was with the wild asses. They fed him with grass like oxen,
and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most
High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it
whomsoever he will. And thou, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart,
though thou knewest all this, but hast 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 in
them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron,
wood and stone, which see not, nor bear, nor know; and the God in whose
hand thy breath is, thou hast not glorified.
