Daniel4:15
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth , even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field , and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts im the grass of the earth.
Here he mitigates and corrects the former rigour of his sentence, that the Kingdom should remain, with hope of return, and readmission: God cuts off many flourishing Kingdoms to the stumps, by spoiling their riches, beauty and majesty.
Let the body of Nebuchadnezzar be preserved, and the Kingdom remain firm: though he be turned out to grass for a while among the beasts.
