On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let a beast's heart be given unto him. This is surely the saddest and sorest of all temporal judgments, worse a thousand times than death, and though, like it, least felt by those that lie under it, yet to be dreaded and deprecated more than any other.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

heart--understanding (Isa 6:10). times--that is, "years" (Da 12:7). "Seven" is the perfect number: a week of years: a complete revolution of time accompanying a complete revolution in his state of mind.
