Daniel 4:32 in Multiple Translations
You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
and thou shalt be driven from men; and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
You will be driven away from human society and you will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like the cattle, and you will become soaked with the dew of heaven. You will be like this for seven times until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to whoever he chooses.”
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and according to his will he worketh in the armie of heauen, and in the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, nor say vnto him, What doest thou?
and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field [is] thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.
You shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’”
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, I as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it?
Your advisors will force you to live away from other people. You will live in the fields with wild animals, and you will eat grass like cows do. You will live that way for seven years, until you learn that it is I, the Supreme God, who rules over the kingdoms of this world, and I appoint the ones whom I have chosen to rule them.”

Context — The Second Dream Fulfilled
30the king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”
31While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “It is decreed to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, that the kingdom has departed from you.
32You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”
33At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. 34But at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me. Then I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified Him who lives forever: “For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.Cross References

Daniel 4:32 Summary
This verse, Daniel 4:32, tells us that King Nebuchadnezzar would be punished for his pride by being forced to live like an animal for seven years, until he acknowledged that God is in control of everything, as also seen in Jeremiah 27:5-6. During this time, he would eat grass like an ox and live outside, away from his kingdom, until he recognized God's sovereignty (Psalm 103:19). This teaches us that God is the one who gives power and takes it away, and we must always remember to be humble and acknowledge His authority in our lives (1 Peter 5:6). By doing so, we can learn to trust in God's providence and timing, even in difficult circumstances, as described in Psalm 37:7 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of being driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field in Daniel 4:32?

What are the seven times mentioned in Daniel 4:32?
The seven times refer to a period of seven years, during which King Nebuchadnezzar would suffer from a mental illness, acting like an animal, until he acknowledges the Most High God, as described in Daniel 4:32-34 and also supported by Daniel 5:21.

According to Daniel 4:32 and Romans 13:1, God gives the kingdom to whom He wishes, emphasizing His sovereignty over all nations and rulers, as stated in Psalm 103:19 and Daniel 2:21.
How does this verse relate to the overall theme of Daniel 4?

Reflection Questions

Gill's Exposition on Daniel 4:32
And they shall drive thee from men,.... According to the interpretation of the dream given by Daniel, which this voice from heaven confirms; [See comments on Daniel 4:25], where the same things are said as here.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 4:32
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 4:32
From men; from the society and conversation of men.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 4:32
Daniel 4:32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.Ver. 32. And they shall drive thee.] See on Daniel 4:25, that new impieties work out old threatened curses, which seldom rot in the air, as we use to say of winter.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 4:32
(32) They shall drive thee.—This verse is only slightly abridged from Daniel 4:25 by the omission of the clause “they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 4:32
Verse 32. They shall make thee, c.] Thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen. The madness that fell upon him induced him to forsake society, and to run to the woods and deserts, where he lived like a wild beast, his hairs growing long and thick, so as to be a substitute for clothing and his nails strong and hooked, that he might the better climb trees and grub up the ground, in order to get roots and earth-nuts. It was the mercy of God that thus clothed and accoutred him. His case seems much like that of the maniac in the Gospel, whose dwelling was among the tombs and in the mountains, and who shunned the society of men.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 4:32
32. And thou shalt be driven … shalt be made to eat grass as oxen] The passives, as Daniel 4:25,—with which, indeed, except that one clause is omitted, the present verse agrees almost verbally.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 4:32
And they shall drive thee from men ... - See the note at Daniel 4:25.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 4:32
31, 32. See note Daniel 4:25. This description is intensely dramatic, and many things unmentioned here are brought vividly before the eyes of anyone acquainted with the life of a Babylonian palace.
