Daniel 4:10-16

10Thus were the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.1 11The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to heaven, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth: 12Its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the fowls of heaven dwelt among its boughs, and all flesh was fed from it. 13I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; 14He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts escape from under it, and the fowls from its branches:2 15Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots 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 heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: 16Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
