Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und er wurde von den Menschenkindern ausgestoßen, und sein Herz wurde dem der Tiere gleich, und seine Wohnung war bei den Wildeseln; man gab ihm Kraut zu essen wie den Rindern, und sein Leib wurde vom Tau des Himmels benetzt bis er erkannte, daß der höchste Gott über das Königtum der Menschen herrscht, und darüber bestellt, wen er will.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y fué echado de entre los hijos de los hombres; y su corazón fué puesto con las bestias, y con los asnos monteses fué su morada. Hierba le hicieron comer, como á buey, y su cuerpo fué bañado con el rocío del cielo, hasta que conoció que el altísimo Dios se enseñorea del reino de los hombres, y que pondrá sobre él al que quisiere.

E foi expulso dentre os filhos dos homens; e sua mente se tornou semelhante à dos animais, e com asnos selvagens foi sua morada. Foi alimentado com erva tal como os bois, e seu corpo foi molhado com o orvalho do céu, até que entendeu que o Deus altíssimo tem o domínio sobre os reinos humanos, e constitui sobre eles a quem ele quer.

21And 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 ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
