Daniel 4:32 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

You're going to be kicked out and left to live with wild animals in the fields. You'll eat grass like cattle, and this will go on for seven years until you finally understand that God is the one who's really in charge of every kingdom on earth — and he chooses who gets to rule.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes God has to humble us completely before we realize he's been the one in control all along.
