“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges: all the inhabitants of earth are of no account; he does as he pleases with the army of heaven and inhabitants of earth, and no one can resist him or ask 'What have you done?'—articulating comprehension of absolute divine sovereignty and the futility of human resistance. The enumeration of those under God's authority (heaven's army, earth's inhabitants) emphasizes totality. His acceptance includes recognition that God's actions require no justification.
