Daniel 4:13-16

13While I was watching in my mind’s visions on my bed, a holy sentinel came down from heaven.

14He called out loudly as follows: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches! Strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit! Let the animals flee from under it and the birds from its branches!

15But leave its taproot in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it surrounded by the grass of the field. Let it become damp with the dew of the sky, and let it live with the animals in the grass of the land.

16Let his mind be altered from that of a human being, and let an animal’s mind be given to him, and let seven periods of time go by for him.
