Daniel 4:31

While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

Ver. 31. While the word was in the king's 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 Act 12:23

There fell a voice from heaven.] By the ministry of the angels, who do extremely hate proud persons, and are ready to speak and act aught against them.

O king Nebuehadnezzar.] Not now Nebuchadnezzar my servant, as once, but mine opposite, and therefore the object of my wrath. Alexander the Great rewarded his soldier that fetched 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.
