Daniel 5:21

5:21 He was driven from human society, his mind 1  was changed to that of an animal, he lived 2  with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.

Daniel 6:10

6:10 When Daniel realized 3  that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows 4  in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. 5  Three 6  times daily he was 7  kneeling 8  and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.
