Daniel 4:17
Konteks4:17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;
this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,
so that 3 those who are alive may understand
that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms, 4
and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.
He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’
[2:21] 2 tn Aram “the knowers of understanding.”
[4:17] 3 tc The present translation follows an underlying reading of עַל־דִּבְרַת (’al-divrat, “so that”) rather than MT עַד־דִּבְרַת (’ad-divrat, “until”).
[4:17] 4 tn Aram “the kingdom of man”; NASB “the realm of mankind”; NCV “every kingdom on earth.”
