This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
My reason returned unto me: what is a magistrate, yea, or a man, without reason? A brute; as a ship without a pilot, as an army without a commander, as a flock or herd without a shepherd.
Mine honour and brightness returned unto me; instead of the shape of a savage beast, I got the majesty of a king in my countenance.
My counsellors and my lords sought unto me; they who before despised and rejected me now were glad to creep to me, and to know their place and distance.
I was established in my kingdom; in my wonted power and place, owned and obeyed without competitors by all, without question or complaint: see Dan_5:18,19.
Excellent majesty was added unto me; he was the most august and magnificent prince on earth, therefore was his kingdom called the lady of kingdoms, Isa_47:7,8.
