Daniel 5:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
World English Bible (WEB)
and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
Strong's King James
And he was driven{H2957}{(H8752)} from{H4481} the sons{H1123} of men{H606}; and his heart{H3825} was made{H7739}{(H8745)} like{H5974} the beasts{H2423}, and his dwelling{H4070} was with the wild asses{H6167}: they fed{H2939}{(H8748)} him with grass{H6211} like oxen{H8450}, and his body{H1655} was wet{H6647}{(H8721)} with the dew{H2920} of heaven{H8065}; till{H5705} he knew{H3046}{(H8754)} that the most high{H5943} God{H426} ruled{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men{H606}, and that he appointeth{H6966}{(H8681)} over{H5922} it whomsoever{H4479} he will{H6634}{(H8748)}.
The F.O.G *
He was also driven away from the sons of mankind, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling place was with donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was watered with the dew of the skies until he knew that El-Elyon is Sovereign in the kingdom of man and He sets over it whomever He wants.

Young's Literal Translation
and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses is his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.
