King Nebuchadnezzar walked on his palace roof and bragged, “Look at this great city I built! I'm so powerful!”
Right then, God took his kingdom away. He went out and lived like a wild animal and ate grass like a cow! His hair grew long like feathers.
After seven years, he looked up to heaven and said, “God is the real King!” And God gave him his kingdom back.
