Change your laughter to mourning. Change your joy to sadness.Be humble in front of the Lord. And he will lift you up.

Your royal authority has been taken from you.You will be driven away from people. You will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass just as an ox does. Seven periods of time will pass by for you. Then you will recognize that the Most High God rules over all kingdoms on earth.
