5:20 And when his mind 1 became arrogant 2 and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.
Daniel 5:23
5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods 3 that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control 4 your very breath and all your ways!
