The dream was fulfilled
28 But the king refused to stop sinning. So what was predicted in the dream is what happened to him. 29 Twelve months later, one day he was walking on the flat roof of his palace in Babylon. 30 As he looked out over/across the city, he said to those around him, “I have built this great city of Babylon to be the place where I rule! I have built it to display my own power, in order to show people my glory, to show them that I am very great!”
31 While he was still saying this, God [MTY] spoke from heaven and said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, this is what I am saying to you: You are no longer the ruler of this kingdom! 32 Your advisors will force you to live away from other people. You will live in the fields with wild animals, and you will eat grass like cows do. You will live that way for seven years, until you learn that it is I, the Supreme God, who rules over the kingdoms of this world, and I appoint the ones whom I have chosen to rule them.”
33 Immediately what God predicted happened. Nebuchadnezzar became insane, so his advisors forced him to live away from other people. He ate grass like cows do, and dew from the sky caused his body to be damp/wet every morning. He lived like that until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers, and his fingernails became like birds’ claws.
34 “After those seven years ended, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and I acknowledged that what God said was true. Then I could think correctly again. I praised and worshiped the Supreme God, and I honored him, the one who lives forever.
He rules forever;
his kingdom will never end.
35 All the people in the world are very insignificant;
we are not like him.
He has the power to do whatever he wants to do,
among the angels in heaven and among us people who live on the earth.
So no one can stop him [SYN],
and no one can challenge him,
saying to him, ‘Why are you doing these things?’
36 When I was able to think correctly again, I was honored again, and I was able to rule my glorious/great kingdom again. My advisors came to me again to talk about what should be done, and I became greater and more powerful than I was before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and honor [DOU] God, the king who rules in heaven. All of his actions are just and right. And he is able to cause to become humble those who are proud, like I was.”
