Daniel 4:19-27

19Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The kingH4430 answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries. 20The treeH363 that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heavenH8065, and the sight thereof to all the earthH772; 21whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation: 22it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heavenH8065, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 23And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heavenH8065, and sayingH560, Hew down the treeH363, and destroy it; nevertheless leaveH7662 the stump of the rootsH8330 thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heavenH8065: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him; 24this is the interpretation, O kingH4430, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the kingH4430: 25that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 26And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdomH4437 shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. 27Wherefore, O kingH4430, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
