TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:1-37 In his pride, King Nebuchadnezzar convinced himself that he had built Babylon (4:30; cp. Gen 11:1-9). He disregarded the warning of the Most High God (Dan 4:24-27). He had still not learned the lesson God was teaching him through these experiences, that the God of Daniel stands outside the world of time and space, and no human is equal to him. So God’s decree of judgment fell upon Nebuchadnezzar (4:17, 25-26; see Prov 16:18).

(Some words not found in UHB: and,that saw Oh/the=king (a)_city and,holy coming_down from/more_than the=heavens and=saying(ms) cut_down tree,the and,destroy,it only/nevertheless/but stump roots,its in/on/at/with,ground,the leave and,in/on/at/with,band that/who iron and,bronze in/on/at/with,grass,the that/who field,the and,in/on/at/with,dew the=heavens drenched and,with animals field,the lot,his until that/who seven times pass over,him )

These phrases are exaggerations to emphasize that everyone everywhere knew how great Nebuchadnezzar was.
