Midrash sobre Daniel 4:26

Sennacherib and all his hosts did likewise, as it is said: By thy servants hast thou taunted (Isa. 37:24); I have digged and drunk water (ibid., v. 5). Therefore it states: Then the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and the captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with his sword (II Chron. 32:21–22). Nebuchadnezzar did likewise when he said: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds (Isa. 14:14); and therefore the Holy One, blessed be He, told him: Since you wish to separate yourself from mankind, mankind will ultimately separate itself from you. At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace at Babylon… . While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven: “O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee. And thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field.” … The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, etc. (Dan. 4:26–30). And all this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar (ibid., v. 25).
