Chapter 4 – Nebuchadnezzar’s Decree
understanding of the king returned to him

again. His first act then was to bless the Most

High. On this Matthew Henry has the following

appropriate remark: “Those may justly be

reckoned void of understanding that do not

bless and praise God; nor do men ever rightly

use their reason till they begin to be religions,

nor live as men till they live to the glory of God.

As reason is the substratum or subject of

religion (so that creatures which have no

reason are not capable of religion), so religion

is the crown and glory of reason; and we have

our reason in vain, and shall one day wish we

had never had it, if we do not glorify God with

it.”

His honor and brightness returned to him

again, his counselors sought unto him, and he

was once more established in the kingdom.
