• Dan 4:10-18 : 10 Thus were the visions{H2376} of mine head{H7217} in{H5922} my bed{H4903}; I saw{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)}, and behold{H431} a tree{H363} in the midst{H1459} of the earth{H772}, and the height{H7314} thereof was great{H7690}. 11 The tree{H363} grew{H7236}{(H8754)}, and was strong{H8631}{(H8754)}, and the height{H7314} thereof reached{H4291}{(H8748)} unto heaven{H8065}, and the sight{H2379} thereof to the end{H5491} of all{H3606} the earth{H772}: 12 The leaves{H6074} thereof were fair{H8209}, and the fruit{H4} thereof much{H7690}, and in it was meat{H4203} for all{H3606}: the beasts{H2423} of the field{H1251} had shadow{H2927}{(H8681)} under{H8460} it, and the fowls{H6853} of the heaven{H8065} dwelt{H1753}{(H8748)} in the boughs{H6056} thereof, and all{H3606} flesh{H1321} was fed{H2110}{(H8729)} of it{H4481}. 13 I saw{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} in the visions{H2376} of my head{H7217} upon{H5922} my bed{H4903}, and, behold{H431}, a watcher{H5894} and an holy one{H6922} came down{H5182}{(H8750)} from{H4481} heaven{H8065}; 14 He cried{H7123}{(H8751)} aloud{H2429}, and said{H560}{(H8750)} thus{H3652}, Hew down{H1414} the tree{H363}, and cut off{H7113}{(H8745)} his branches{H6056}, shake off{H5426}{(H8680)} his leaves{H6074}, and scatter{H921}{(H8745)} his fruit{H4}: let the beasts{H2423} get away{H5111}{(H8748)} from{H4481} under it{H8479}, and the fowls{H6853} from{H4481} his branches{H6056}: 15 Nevertheless{H1297} leave{H7662}{(H8747)} the stump{H6136} of his roots{H8330} in the earth{H772}, even with a band{H613} of iron{H6523} and brass{H5174}, in the tender grass{H1883} of the field{H1251}; and let it be wet{H6647}{(H8721)} with the dew{H2920} of heaven{H8065}, and let his portion{H2508} be with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} in the grass{H6211} of the earth{H772}: 16 Let his heart{H3825} be changed{H8133}{(H8741)} from{H4481} man's{H606}, and let a beast's{H2423} heart{H3825} be given{H3052}{(H8725)} unto him; and let seven{H7655} times{H5732} pass{H2499} over{H5922} him. 17 This matter{H6600} is by the decree{H1510} of the watchers{H5894}, and the demand{H7595} by the word{H3983} of the holy ones{H6922}: to{H5705} the intent{H1701} that the living{H2417} may know{H3046}{(H8748)} that the most High{H5943} ruleth{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men{H606}, and giveth{H5415}{(H8748)} it to whomsoever{H4479} he will{H6634}{(H8748)}, and setteth up{H6966}{(H8681)} over{H5922} it the basest{H8215} of men{H606}. 18 This{H1836} dream{H2493} I{H576} king{H4430} Nebuchadnezzar{H5020} have seen{H2370}{(H8754)}. Now thou{H607}, O Belteshazzar{H1096}, declare{H560}{(H8747)} the interpretation{H6591} thereof, forasmuch as{H6903} all{H3606} the wise{H2445} men of my kingdom{H4437} are not{H3809} able{H3202}{(H8750)} to make known{H3046}{(H8682)} unto me the interpretation{H6591}: but thou{H607} art able{H3546}{(H8751)}; for the spirit{H7308} of the holy{H6922} gods{H426} is in thee.
