³⁸ Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.

²¹ Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:

²² It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.

¹⁰ For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹ I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.

⁵ I have made the earth, and man and beast on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I will give it to anyone at my pleasure.

⁶ And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.

⁷ And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.
