KJV ORIGINAL
That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
You're going to be kicked out from society and end up living wild with the animals. You'll be eating grass like cattle, sleeping outside in the dew, and this will go on for seven years. All of this happens so you finally understand that God is the one actually running things down here, and he puts whoever he wants in charge.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes God has to humble us the hard way before we realize he's actually the one in control.
