5 "By my great power and strength I created the world, human beings, and all the animals that live on the earth; and I give it to anyone I choose.

6 I am the one who has placed all these nations under the power of my servant, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia, and I have made even the wild animals serve him.
