This is the interpretation, O king, etc.] Of this part of the dream, namely, what follows in the two next verses: and this is the decree of the most High; called before the decree of the watchers, (<270417>Daniel 4:17), and is no other than the decree of that sovereign and absolute Being, whose purposes are unfrustrable: which is come upon my lord the king; the decree had passed concerning him, and would be most certainly fulfilled: and, because of the certainty of it, it is represented as if it was; for it would shortly and surely come upon him, exactly as it was determined, and by the dream signified.
