11 The tree grew and became strong;
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
12 Its leaves were lovely,
Its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
aThe beasts of the field found shade under it,
The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches,
And all flesh was fed from it.

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.

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.
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.
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.’
