In context — Daniel 5:21
And he was driven away from the sons of men, and his mind was made like that of the beasts , and with the wild donkeys was his dwelling. They would feed him grass like oxen, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men and appoints over it whomever He wills.
