And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
After all that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, finally looked up to heaven and my mind came back to me. I blessed the Most High God and praised and honored the one who lives forever, whose rule never ends and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.
Sometimes you have to lose everything to finally look up and see who's really in charge.
