*
But at the last Daniel came in before me ,
whose name was Belteshazzar ,
according to the name of my god ,
and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods :
and before him I told the dream ,
saying ,
*
O Belteshazzar ,
master of the magicians ,
because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee ,
and no secret troubleth thee ,
tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen ,
and the interpretation thereof .
*
Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed ;
I saw ,
and behold a tree in the midst of the earth ,
and the height thereof was great .
*
The tree grew ,
and was strong ,
and the height thereof reached unto heaven ,
and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth :
*
The leaves thereof were fair ,
and the fruit thereof much ,
and in it was meat for all :
the beasts of the field had shadow under it ,
and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof ,
and all flesh was fed of it .
*
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed ,
and ,
behold ,
a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven ;
*
He cried aloud ,
and said thus ,
Hew down the tree ,
and cut off his branches ,
shake off his leaves ,
and scatter his fruit :
let the beasts get away from under it ,
and the fowls from his branches :
