We have come to know that King Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful ruler in the earth, and this position was granted to him by God. Although Nebuchadnezzar was aware of this and acknowledged it, he persisted in a prideful heart until he was humbled by the hand of God and lost his mind for seven years (Dan. 4:28-33). It’s always better to be humbled by the Word of the Lord rather than the hand of the Lord.
