Daniel4:31
Ver. 31. While the word was in the Kings mouth] So quick is God uſually in his executions, when men are once come to the height of pride, and do invade his glory, affront his Majeſty, Jer. 44.22. Acts 12, 23.
There fell a voice from heaven] By the Miniſtry of the Angels, who do extreamly hate proud perſons, and are ready to ſpeak and act ought againſt them.
O King Nebuchadnezzar] Not now Nebuchadnezzar my ſervant, (as once) but mine oppoſite, and therefore the object of my wrath. Alexander the Great rewarded his ſoldier that fetcht his crown out of the water: but then, hanged him for putting it on his own head. God will puniſh thoſe eternally, that rob him of his due glory.
