Daniel 4:25Wrench

BACK NEXT
[YAH's angels] come now to drive you away from [your ivory tower at the pinnacle of] human [society].
You fall to dwell with the field-beasts.
[This infliction] makes you eat grass like an ox.
[The sky] wets you with the dew of heaven.
7 [years] pass over you, until you [fully] grasp that [YHVH] the Illai {Most-High-Power} rules in the kingdom[s] of men, and gives [them] to whoever he chooses.

Note: Nebuchadnezzar's Empire was vaster and richer than we can possibly imagine.
And everywhere archaeologists dig up his Empire's remains, they find arrogant inscriptions on blocks saying, “I, Nebuchadnezzar, built this.”
