Daniel 5:20 in Context — Daniel 5
18 O roi, le Dieu suprême avait donné à Nebucadnetsar, ton père, l’empire, la grandeur, la gloire et la magnificence;
19 et à cause de la grandeur qu’il lui avait donnée, tous les peuples, les nations, les hommes de toutes langues étaient dans la crainte et tremblaient devant lui. Le roi faisait mourir ceux qu’il voulait, et il laissait la vie à ceux qu’il voulait; il élevait ceux qu’il voulait, et il abaissait ceux qu’il voulait.
20 Mais lorsque son cœur s’éleva et que son esprit s’endurcit jusqu’à l’arrogance, il fut précipité de son trône royal et dépouillé de sa gloire;
21 il fut chassé du milieu des enfants des hommes, son cœur devint semblable à celui des bêtes, et sa demeure fut avec les ânes sauvages; on lui donna comme aux bœufs de l’herbe à manger, et son corps fut trempé de la rosée du ciel, jusqu’à ce qu’il reconnût que le Dieu suprême domine sur le règne des hommes et qu’il le donne à qui il lui plaît.
22 Et toi, Belschatsar, son fils, tu n’as pas humilié ton cœur, quoique tu susses toutes ces choses.
