Daniel 4:17
17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;
this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,
so that ▼
▼tc The present translation follows an underlying reading of עַל־דִּבְרַת (ʿal divrat, “so that”) rather than MT עַד־דִּבְרַת (ʿad divrat, “until”).
those who are alive may understand that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms, ▼
▼tn Aram “the kingdom of man”; NASB “the realm of mankind”; NCV “every kingdom on earth.”
and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.
He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’
