Daniel Explains the Second Dream

19 Then Daniel, awhose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts btroubled him. So the king spoke, and said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, may cthe dream concern those who hate you, and its interpretation2 concern your enemies!  
20 a“The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,  
21 whose leaves were lovely and its fruit abundant, in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heaven had their home—
22 ait is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, band your dominion to the end of the earth.  
23 a“And inasmuch as the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its 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, band let him graze with the beasts of the field, till seven1 times pass over him’;  
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
25 They shall adrive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you beat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven1 times shall pass over you, ctill you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and dgives it to whomever He chooses.
