Verse 21
Daniel 5:21
King James Version
21
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 (Elohim) ruled in the kingdom of men, and
that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

English Translation
And from among the sons of men, she is troubled, and her heart is with the beasts according to their kind. And with the arid ones, her dwelling, as the grass according to its taste, they shall flavor her. And from the dew of heaven, her rain shall appear until he knows that God has dominion over the high place in the kingdom of man, and for the one who will establish it, He will uphold her.
