Daniel 4:14-17
14He criedH7123 aloudH2429, and saidH560 thusH3652, Hew downH1414 the treeH363, and cut offH7113 his branchesH6056, shake offH5426 his leavesH6074, and scatterH921 his fruitH4: let the beastsH2423 get awayH5111 fromH4481 under itH8479, and the fowlsH6853 fromH4481 his branchesH6056:1
15NeverthelessH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of his rootsH8330 in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 in the grassH6211 of the earthH772:
16Let his heartH3825 be changedH8133 fromH4481 man’sH606, and let a beast’sH2423 heartH3825 be givenH3052 unto him; and let sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him.
17This matterH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the watchersH5894, and the demandH7595 by the wordH3983 of the holy onesH6922: toH5705 the intentH1701 that the livingH2417 may knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634, and setteth upH6966 overH5922 it the basestH8215 of menH606.
