Exegesis
The final causative clause ū-šəp̄ilīn ʾănāšîm yəqîm ʿălah {וּשְׁפִילִין אֲנָשִׁים יְקִים עֲלַהּ | ū-šəp̄ilîn ʾănāšîm yəqîm ʿălah} “and the lowly men He sets over it” highlights the paradox of exaltation. This chain preserves cumulative emphasis on divine sovereignty, purpose, and reversal.
In context — Daniel 4:17
By the decree of the watchers the edict stands, and by the word of the holy ones the decision is fixed, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of mankind, and He gives it to whomever He wills, and He sets over it the lowliest of men.
