“Immediately,
The sentence
Was fulfilled
Against King Nebuchadnezzar.
He was driven away
From human society.
He ate grass
Like an ox.
His body was bathed
With the dew of heaven.
His hair grew
As long
As eagles’ feathers.
His nails became
Like birds’ claws.”
The result happened immediately in a very descriptive way. As soon as the words were spoken, the sentence was fulfilled against King Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from human society to eat grass like an ox. His body bathed in the heavenly dew. This text explains that his hair grew as long as eagle feathers and his finger nails became like bird claws.
