King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that troubled him greatly, but his magicians and enchanters were unable to interpret it. Daniel was brought before the king and revealed that the dream foretold that Nebuchadnezzar would lose his mind and live as an animal for seven years as punishment for his pride, until he acknowledged that God rules over all earthly kingdoms. After the prophesied time, Nebuchadnezzar's sanity was restored and he praised God for his sovereignty.
