A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Then--when elated by his successes.

shall his mind change--He shall lose whatever of reason or moderation ever was in him, with pride.

he shall pass over--all bounds and restraints: his pride preparing the sure way for his destruction (Pro 16:18). The language is very similar to that describing Nebuchadnezzar's "change" from man's heart (understanding) to that of a beast, because of pride (see on Dan 4:16; Dan 4:30-31; Dan 4:33-34). An undesigned coincidence between the two sacred books written independently.

imputing this his power unto his god-- (Dan 5:4). Sacrilegious arrogance, in ascribing to his idol Bel the glory that belongs to God [CALVIN]. GROTIUS explains, "(saying that) his power is his own as one who is a god to himself" (compare Hab 1:16, and Dan. 3:1-30). So MAURER, "He shall offend as one to whom his power is his god" (Job 12:6; see on Mic 2:1).

1 Woe [01945] to them that devise [02803] iniquity [0205], and work [06466] evil [07451] upon their beds [04904]! when the morning [01242] is light [0216], they practise [06213] it, because it is [03426] in the power [0410] of their hand [03027].
6 The tabernacles [0168] of robbers [07703] prosper [07951], and they that provoke [07264] God [0410] are secure [0987]; into whose hand [03027] God [0433] bringeth [0935] abundantly.
16 Therefore they sacrifice [02076] unto their net [02764], and burn incense [06999] unto their drag [04365]; because by them [01992] their portion [02506] is fat [08082], and their meat [03978] plenteous [01277].
4 They drank [08355] wine [02562], and praised [07624] the gods [0426] of gold [01722], and of silver [03702], of brass [05174], of iron [06523], of wood [0636], and of stone [069].
33 The same hour [08160] was the thing [04406] fulfilled [05487] upon [05922] Nebuchadnezzar [05020]: and he was driven [02957] from [04481] men [0606], and did eat [0399] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and his body [01655] was wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], till [05705] his hairs [08177] were grown [07236] like eagles [05403]' feathers, and his nails [02953] like birds [06853]' claws.
34 And at the end [07118] of the days [03118] I [0576] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] lifted up [05191] mine eyes [05870] unto heaven [08065], and mine understanding [04486] returned [08421] unto me [05922], and I blessed [01289] the most High [05943], and I praised [07624] and honoured [01922] him that liveth [02417] for ever [05957], whose dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], and his kingdom [04437] is from [05974] generation [01859] to generation [01859]:
30 The king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560], Is not [03809] this [01932] [01668] great [07229] Babylon [0895], that I [0576] have built [01124] for the house [01005] of the kingdom [04437] by the might [08632] of my power [02632], and for the honour [03367] of my majesty [01923]?
31 While [05751] the word [04406] was in the king's [04430] mouth [06433], there fell [05308] a voice [07032] from [04481] heaven [08065], saying, O king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020], to thee it is spoken [0560]; The kingdom [04437] is departed [05709] from [04481] thee.
16 Let his heart [03825] be changed [08133] from [04481] man's [0606], and let a beast's [02423] heart [03825] be given [03052] unto him; and let seven [07655] times [05732] pass [02499] over [05922] him.
18 Pride [01347] goeth before [06440] destruction [07667], and an haughty [01363] spirit [07307] before [06440] a fall [03783].
30 In that night [03916] was Belshazzar [01113] the king [04430] of the Chaldeans [03779] slain [06992].
23 But hast lifted up [07313] thyself against [05922] the Lord [04756] of heaven [08065]; and they have brought [0858] the vessels [03984] of his house [01005] before [06925] thee, and thou [0607], and thy lords [07261], thy wives [07695], and thy concubines [03904], have drunk [08355] wine [02562] in them; and thou hast praised [07624] the gods [0426] of silver [03702], and gold [01722], of brass [05174], iron [06523], wood [0636], and stone [069], which see [02370] not [03809], nor [03809] hear [08086], nor [03809] know [03046]: and the God [0426] in whose hand [03028] thy breath [05396] is, and whose are all [03606] thy ways [0735], hast thou not [03809] glorified [01922]:
31 While [05751] the word [04406] was in the king's [04430] mouth [06433], there fell [05308] a voice [07032] from [04481] heaven [08065], saying, O king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020], to thee it is spoken [0560]; The kingdom [04437] is departed [05709] from [04481] thee.
19 And for [04481] the majesty [07238] that he gave [03052] him, all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], trembled [01934] [02112] and feared [01763] before [04481] him [06925]: whom he would [01934] [06634] he slew [01934] [06992]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he kept alive [01934] [02418]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he set up [01934] [07313]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he put down [01934] [08214].
20 But when his heart [03825] was lifted up [07313], and his mind [07308] hardened [08631] in pride [02103], he was deposed [05182] from [04481] his kingly [04437] throne [03764], and they took [05709] his glory [03367] from him [04481]:
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the prince [05057] of Tyrus [06865], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thine heart [03820] is lifted up [01361], and thou hast said [0559], I am a God [0410], I sit [03427] in the seat [04186] of God [0430], in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]; yet thou art a man [0120], and not God [0410], though thou set [05414] thine heart [03820] as the heart [03820] of God [0430]:
3 Behold, thou art wiser [02450] than Daniel [01840]; there is no secret [05640] that they can hide [06004] from thee:
4 With thy wisdom [02451] and with thine understanding [08394] thou hast gotten [06213] thee riches [02428], and hast gotten [06213] gold [02091] and silver [03701] into thy treasures [0214]:
5 By thy great [07230] wisdom [02451] and by thy traffick [07404] hast thou increased [07235] thy riches [02428], and thine heart [03824] is lifted up [01361] because of thy riches [02428]:
4 Who [3588] opposeth [480] and [2532] exalteth [5229] himself above [1909] all [3956] that is called [3004] God [2316], or [2228] that is worshipped [4574]; so [5620] that he [846] as [5613] God [2316] sitteth [2523] in [1519] the temple [3485] of God [2316], shewing [584] himself [1438] that [3754] he is [2076] God [2316].
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the prince [05057] of Tyrus [06865], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thine heart [03820] is lifted up [01361], and thou hast said [0559], I am a God [0410], I sit [03427] in the seat [04186] of God [0430], in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]; yet thou art a man [0120], and not God [0410], though thou set [05414] thine heart [03820] as the heart [03820] of God [0430]:
14 I will ascend [05927] above the heights [01116] of the clouds [05645]; I will be like [01819] the most High [05945].
30 The king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560], Is not [03809] this [01932] [01668] great [07229] Babylon [0895], that I [0576] have built [01124] for the house [01005] of the kingdom [04437] by the might [08632] of my power [02632], and for the honour [03367] of my majesty [01923]?
7 And I will take [03947] you to me for a people [05971], and I will be to you a God [0430]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which bringeth [03318] you out from under the burdens [05450] of the Egyptians [04714].
1 The burden [04853] of the desert [04057] of the sea [03220]. As whirlwinds [05492] in the south [05045] pass [02498] through; so it cometh [0935] from the desert [04057], from a terrible [03372] land [0776].
8 And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [06005] [0410].
12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Though they be quiet [08003], and likewise many [07227], yet thus shall they be cut down [01494], when he shall pass through [05674]. Though I have afflicted [06031] thee, I will afflict [06031] thee no more.
29 When he giveth quietness [08252], who then can make trouble [07561]? and when he hideth [05641] his face [06440], who then can behold [07789] him? whether it be done against a nation [01471], or against a man [0120] only [03162]:
6 And he shall bring forth [03318] thy righteousness [06664] as the light [0216], and thy judgment [04941] as the noonday [06672].
10 The mountains [02022] saw [07200] thee, and they trembled [02342]: the overflowing [02230] of the water [04325] passed by [05674]: the deep [08415] uttered [05414] his voice [06963], and lifted up [05375] his hands [03027] on high [07315].
8 But with an overrunning [05674] flood [07858] he will make [06213] an utter end [03617] of the place [04725] thereof, and darkness [02822] shall pursue [07291] his enemies [0341].
8 And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [06005] [0410].
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth [05162] you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid [03372] of a man [0582] that shall die [04191], and of the son [01121] of man [0120] which shall be made [05414] as grass [02682];
5 Behold, as wild asses [06501] in the desert [04057], go they forth [03318] to their work [06467]; rising betimes [07836] for a prey [02964]: the wilderness [06160] yieldeth food [03899] for them and for their children [05288].
4 For a thousand [0505] years [08141] in thy sight [05869] are but as [03117] yesterday [0865] when it is past [05674], and as a watch [0821] in the night [03915].
14 I am poured out [08210] like water [04325], and all my bones [06106] are out of joint [06504]: my heart [03820] is like wax [01749]; it is melted [04549] in the midst [08432] of my bowels [04578].
1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732]. In the LORD [03068] put I my trust [02620]: how say [0559] ye to my soul [05315], Flee [05110] as a bird [06833] to your mountain [02022]?
24 He shall flee [01272] from the iron [01270] weapon [05402], and the bow [07198] of steel [05154] shall strike him through [02498].
26 She put [07971] her hand [03027] to the nail [03489], and her right hand [03225] to the workmen's [06001] hammer [01989]; and with the hammer she smote [01986] Sisera [05516], she smote off [04277] his head [07218], when she had pierced [04272] and stricken through [02498] his temples [07541].
5 The earth [0776] also is defiled [02610] under the inhabitants [03427] thereof; because they have transgressed [05674] the laws [08451], changed [02498] the ordinance [02706], broken [06565] the everlasting [05769] covenant [01285].
11 For, lo, the winter [05638] is past [05674], the rain [01653] is over [02498] and gone [01980];
18 And the idols [0457] he shall utterly [03632] abolish [02498].
15 Then a spirit [07307] passed [02498] before my face [06440]; the hair [08185] of my flesh [01320] stood up [05568]:
11 Lo, he goeth [05674] by me, and I see [07200] him not: he passeth on [02498] also, but I perceive [0995] him not.
1 The burden [04853] of the desert [04057] of the sea [03220]. As whirlwinds [05492] in the south [05045] pass [02498] through; so it cometh [0935] from the desert [04057], from a terrible [03372] land [0776].
8 And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [06005] [0410].
