Daniel 4:10-20

10‘Now these were the 1visionsH2376 2in my mindH7217 as I lay on my bedH4903: I was lookingH2370, and beholdH431, there was a 3treeH363 in the midstH1459 of the 4earthH772 and its heightH7314 was greatH7690.11The treeH363 grewH7236 largeH7236 and becameH8631 strongH8631 And its heightH7314 5reachedH4291 to the skyH8065, And it was visibleH2379 to the endH5491 of the wholeH3606 earthH772.12Its foliageH6074 was 6beautifulH8209 and its fruitH4 abundantH7690, And in it was foodH4203 for allH3606. The 7beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 foundH2927 8shadeH2927 underH8460 it, And the 9birdsH6853 of the skyH8065 dweltH1753 in its branchesH6056, And allH3606 10livingH1321 creaturesH1321 fedH2110 themselves from it.

13‘I was lookingH2370 in the 11visionsH2376 12in my mindH7217 as I lay on my bedH4903, and beholdH431, 13an angelic watcherH5894, a 14holyH6922 oneH6922, descendedH5182 from heavenH8065.14He shoutedH7123 out and spokeH560 as followsH3652: “15ChopH1414 downH1414 the treeH363 and cutH7113 offH7113 its branchesH6056, StripH5426 offH5426 its foliageH6074 and scatterH921 its fruitH4; Let the 16beastsH2423 fleeH5111 from underH8460 it And the birdsH6853 from its branchesH6056.15YetH1297 17leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 18with its rootsH8330 in the groundH772, But with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and bronzeH5174 around it In the newH1883 grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; And let him be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, And let 19him shareH2508 with the beastsH2423 in the grassH6212 of the earthH772.16Let his 20mindH3825 be changedH8133 from that of a manH606 And let a beast’sH2423 21mindH3825 be givenH3052 to him, And let 22sevenH7655 23periods of timeH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him.17This sentenceH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the angelic watchersH5894 And the decisionH7595 is a commandH3983 of the holyH6922 onesH6922, In orderH5705H1701 that the livingH2417 may 24knowH3046 That the MostH5943 HighH5943 is rulerH7990 over the realmH4437 of mankindH606, And 25bestowsH5415 it on whomH1768H4479 He wishesH6634 And setsH6966 overH5922 it the 26lowliestH8215 of menH606.” 18ThisH1836 is the dreamH2493 which I, KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, have seenH2370. Now you, BelteshazzarH1096, tellH560 me its interpretationH6591, inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as noneH3606H3809 of the 27wiseH2445 menH2445 of my kingdomH4437 is ableH3202 to makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591; but you are ableH3546, for a 28spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in you.’

19“ThenH116 DanielH1841, whoseH1768 nameH8036 is BelteshazzarH1096, was appalledH8075 for a whileH8160 as his 29thoughtsH7476 alarmedH927 him. The kingH4430 respondedH6032 and saidH560, ‘BelteshazzarH1096, do not 30let the dreamH2493 or its interpretationH6591 alarmH927 you.’ BelteshazzarH1096 repliedH6032, ‘31My lordH4756, if only the dreamH2493 applied to those who hateH8131 you and its interpretationH6591 to 32your adversariesH6146! 20The 33treeH363 that you sawH2370, whichH1768 becameH7236 largeH7236 and grewH8631 strongH8631, whose heightH7314 reachedH4291 to the skyH8065 and was visibleH2379 to allH3606 the earthH772
