Discovery BoxDaniel 4:25 
Context4:25 You will be driven 1 from human society, 2 and you will live 3 with the wild animals. You will be fed 4 grass like oxen, 5 and you will become damp with the dew of the sky. Seven periods of time will pass by for you, before 6 you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.

and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing. 9
He does as he wishes with the army of heaven
and with those who inhabit the earth.
No one slaps 10 his hand
and says to him, ‘What have you done?’
