33 This was no sooner said than done—I was forced to live like a wild animal; I ate grass and was unprotected from the dew. As time went by, my hair grew longer than eagle feathers, and my fingernails looked like the claws of a bird.
34 Finally, I prayed to God in heaven, and my mind was healed. Then I said:“I praise and honourGod Most High.He lives for ever,and his kingdomwill never end.
35 To him the nationsare far less than nothing;God controls the stars in the skyand everyone on this earth.When God does something,we cannot change itor even ask why.”
36 At that time my mind was healed, and once again I became the ruler of my glorious kingdom. My advisers and officials returned to me, and I had greater power than ever before.
37 That's why I say:“Praise and honour the Kingwho rules from heaven!Everything he doesis honest and fair,and he can shatter the powerof those who are proud.”
