rsv Daniel:4:10-16
rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
rsv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
rsv@Daniel:4:13 @ "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.
rsv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud and said thus, `Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
rsv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven; let his lot be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;
rsv@Daniel:4:16 @ let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
