Nebuchadnezzar Restored

Daniel 4

34 n At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and o my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored p him who lives forever,
q for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and q his kingdom endures from generation to generation;
 35 r all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and s he does according to his will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
t and none can stay his hand
or u say to him, "What have you done?"

36 At the same time v my reason returned to me, and for w the glory of my kingdom, w my majesty and splendor returned to me. x My counselors and y my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was z added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, a praise and extol and honor the b King of heaven, c for all his works are right and his ways are just; and d those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
