KJV ORIGINAL
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
He was completely cut off from people, and his mind became like an animal's. He ended up living in the wild with donkeys, eating grass like cattle, and sleeping outside in the dew every night. This went on until he finally understood that God Most High is the one who's actually in charge of all human kingdoms, and he puts whoever he wants in power.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes God has to humble us the hard way before we realize he's the one actually running things.
