German Elber 1905 (Darby Unrevidierte Elberfelder)
Man wird dich von den Menschen ausstoßen, und bei den Tieren des Feldes wird deine Wohnung sein; und man wird dir Kraut zu essen geben, wie den Rindern, und dich vom Tau des Himmels benetzt werden lassen; und es werden sieben Zeiten über dir vergehen, bis du erkennst, daß der Höchste über das Königtum der Menschen herrscht und es verleiht, wem er will.
Was bedeutet das?
This verse is part of a dream interpretation in which Daniel explains to King Nebuchadnezzar that his great power and wealth have made him very important, reaching as high as the heavens and as far as the ends of the earth. The key message is about the king's immense power and the consequences of pride.
