KJV ORIGINAL

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

But they kept waiting for him to swell up or just drop dead on the spot. They watched and watched, and when absolutely nothing happened to him, they completely flipped their opinion and started saying he must be a god.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes people's opinions of you can do a complete 180 when they see what you're really made of.

The crowd was absolutely amazed when they watched it all happen — people who couldn't speak were suddenly talking, those with missing limbs were completely healed, people who couldn't walk were up and moving, and the blind could see everything. They couldn't help but praise the God of Israel for what they witnessed.

When the king found out what happened, he was absolutely furious. He sent his armies to take down those murderers and completely destroyed their city.

So when you see that horrific, sacred-destroying thing that Daniel talked about standing where it absolutely shouldn't be — in the holy place — whoever's reading this needs to really get what's happening here.
