Daniel 5:19-20
5:19 Due to the greatness that he bestowed on him, all peoples, nations, and language groups were trembling with fear
4 before him. He killed whom he wished, he spared
5 whom he wished, he exalted whom he wished, and he brought low whom he wished.
5:20 And when his mind
6 became arrogant
7 and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.
1 tn Heb “You shall not rule in him in violence”; cf. NASB “with severity”; NIV “ruthlessly.”
2 tn Aram “in that hour.”
3 tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
4 tn Aram “were trembling and fearing.” This can be treated as a hendiadys, “were trembling with fear.”
5 tn Aram “let live.” This Aramaic form is the aphel participle of חַיָה(khayah, “to live”). Theodotion and the Vulgate mistakenly take the form to be from מְחָא (mÿkha’, “to smite”).
6 tn Aram “heart.”
7 sn The point of describing Nebuchadnezzar as arrogant is that he had usurped divine prerogatives, and because of his immense arrogance God had dealt decisively with him.
