"He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches. "
— Daniel 4:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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 tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. ”
“The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its sight to the end of all the earth.”
“The tree grew large and strong. Its top reached far into the sky; it could be seen from the borders of all the land.”
“He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches.”
“And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:”
“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 tree was great and strong, and its height reached up to heaven. It could be seen all the way to the ends of the entire earth.
Its leaves were very beautiful, and its fruit was very abundant, and in it was food for the whole world. Under it, animals and beasts were dwelling, and in its branches, the birds of the sky were sheltered, and from it, all flesh was fed.
I saw in the vision of my head upon my blanket, and behold, a watcher and a holy one descended from heaven.
He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches.
Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and brass among the plants, which are close by, and let it be touched by the dew of heaven, and let its place be with the wild animals among the plants of the earth.
Let his heart be changed from being human, and let the heart of a wild animal be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.
This is the decree from the judgment of the watchers, and the decision and proclamation of the holy ones, until the living shall know that the Supreme One is ruler in the kingdom of men, and that he will give it to whomever he wills, and he will appoint the lowest man over it.”
