Verse 30 is found in chapter 4 of Daniel. The prophecy is fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar attributes his greatness to his own power and glory. The heavenly voice declares that the kingdom will be taken from him, and the king temporarily loses his rational and social condition. The narrative directly connects pride and judgment: the fall is not caused by military weakness but by the claim to possess an authority that heaven regards as derived.
