Verse 11. Spirit; that is the spirit of the king of Babylon. It alludes to the judgment of God upon Nabuchodonosor, recorded Daniel 4 and to the speedy fall of the Chaldean empire. Challoner.—It shall yield to the Medes, and so forth after conquering the Assyrians. Worthington.—Fall. Hebrew “sin.” Septuagint “obtain pardon.”—God: “idol.” Chal. “This is the strength of my God.” Septuagint God forced the proud king to confess that his great exploits were not to be attributed to himself or to idols.
