18 As for you, O king, the Most High God granted to Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar your father the kingdom and greatness and honor and majesty.+

20 But when his heart became haughty and his spirit became hardened, so that he acted presumptuously,+ he was brought down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity was taken away from him.

12 They made their heart like a diamond*+ and would not obey the law* and the words that Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit through the former prophets.+ So there came great indignation from Jehovah of armies.”+
