25
that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 25. Came. Daniel informs us of this event, unless the king speak of himself in the third person, from verse 16 to 31, giving an account of what he had heard and experienced. Bible.—A year of trial was allowed him at first; (Theod.) or he obtained this reprieve by his alms, and lost his former merit by relapsing into pride. Saint Jerome
