Daniel 4:16

---

← Daniel 4:15	Daniel 4:16 (KJV)	Daniel 4:17 →
Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth:	Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.	This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
