  • Dan 4:30-34 : 30 Immediately, what was spoken about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people, ate grass like cattle, 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. 31 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. I praised the Most High, honored, and glorified Him who lives forever: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation. 32 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?' 33 At the same time, my understanding returned to me. My honor and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and nobles sought me out, and I was reestablished in my kingdom, and even greater greatness was added to me. 34 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of Heaven, because all His works are true and His ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

Let them robe the man whom the king delights to honor, and have him ride on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him: ‘This is what shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor!’" 10 Then the king said to Haman, "Go quickly and take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have said." 11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, proclaiming before him: "This is what shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor!" 12 Afterward, Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered in shame.
