Daniel 4:22-25

22youH607, O kingH4430, areH1932 H1768 that tree! For you have become greatH7236 and strongH8631; your greatnessH7238 has grownH7236 to reachH4291 the skyH8065, and your dominionH7985 extends to the endsH5491 of the earthH772.

23AndH1768 you, O kingH4430, sawH2370 a watcherH5894, a holy oneH6922, coming downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065 and sayingH560:

‘Cut downH1414 the treeH363 and destroy itH2255,butH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 with its rootsH8330 in the groundH772,with a bandH613 ofH1768 ironH6523 and bronzeH5174 around it,in the tender grassH1883 ofH1768 the fieldH1251.

Let him be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065,and grazeH2508 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251tillH5705 H1768 sevenH7655 timesH5732 pass himH2499 byH5922.’

24ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and this is the decreeH1510 that the Most HighH5943 H1932 has issuedH4291 againstH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:

25You will be driven awayH2957 fromH4481 mankindH606, and your dwellingH4070 will beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251. You will feed onH2939 grassH6211 like an oxH8450 and be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 you byH5922, untilH5705 H1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 the Most HighH5943 rulesH7990 over the kingdomH4437 of mankindH606 and gives itH5415 to whomH4479 H1768 He wishesH6634.
