*
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 leaves were lovely ,
Its fruit abundant ,
And in it was food for all .
The beasts of the field found shade under it ,
The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches ,
And all flesh was fed from it .
* "
I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed ,
and there was a watcher ,
a holy one ,
coming down from heaven .
*
He cried aloud and said thus : "
Chop down the tree and cut off its branches ,
Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit .
Let the beasts get out from under it ,
And the birds from its branches .
*
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 .
*
Let his heart be changed from that of a man ,
Let him be given the heart of a beast ,
And let seven times pass over him .
* "
This decision is by the decree of the watchers ,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones ,
In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men ,
Gives it to whomever He will ,
And sets over it the lowest of men .'
* "
This dream I ,
King Nebuchadnezzar ,
have seen .
Now you ,
Belteshazzar ,
declare its interpretation ,
since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation ;
but you are able ,
for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you ."
*
Then Daniel ,
whose name was Belteshazzar ,
was astonished for a time ,
and his thoughts troubled 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 the dream concern those who hate you ,
and its interpretation concern your enemies !
* "
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 ,
