You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”

You will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place is with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you. Until you know that El-Elyon is Sovereign over the kingdom of man, and gives it to whomever He wants.
The F.O.G
and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.
