Daniel 4:25 meaning and explanation

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

Daniel 4:25, Berean Standard Bible

Daniel, speaking to King Nebuchadnezzar, interprets the dream of the great tree: the king himself will be driven from human society to live like an animal, eating grass and wet with dew, until he acknowledges God's rule. The phrase "seven times" likely means seven periods of time, whether years or seasons.
