Daniel 5:21-23
English Standard Version
21 (A)He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (B)until he knew that the (C)Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son,[a] (D)Belshazzar, (E)have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against (F)the Lord of heaven. And (G)the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. (H)And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, (I)but the God in whose hand is your breath, and (J)whose are all your ways, (K)you have not honored.

Daniel 5:21-23
New International Version
21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign(A) over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.(B)
22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[a] have not humbled(C) yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against(D) the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives(E) and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.(F) But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life(G) and all your ways.(H)
