Daniel 4:15
Compare all
13 “I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was aa watcher, ba holy one, coming down from heaven.  
14 He cried1 aloud and said thus:
a‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.
bLet the beasts get out from under it,
And the birds from its branches. 
15 Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth,
Bound with a band of iron and bronze,
In the tender grass of the field.
Let it be wet with the dew of heaven,
And let him graze with the beasts
On the grass of the earth.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man,
Let him be given the heart of a beast,
And let seven atimes pass over him. 
17 ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,
In order athat the living may know
bThat the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
cGives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the dlowest of men.’  
18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, asince all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, bfor the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.”
