5:20 And when his mind
became arrogant
and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.
5:21 He was driven from human society, his mind
was changed to that of an animal, he lived
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.
5:22 “But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, although you knew all this.
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 that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control your very breath and all your ways!
5:24 Therefore the palm of a hand was sent from him, and this writing was inscribed.
