Daniel 4:15
New King James Version
15 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.
Job 14:7-9
New King James Version
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
Daniel 4:25-27
New King James Version
25 They shall (A)drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you (B)eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven [a]times shall pass over you, (C)till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and (D)gives it to whomever He chooses.
26 “And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that (E)Heaven[b] rules. 27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; (F)break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. (G)Perhaps there may be (H)a [c]lengthening of your prosperity.”

New King James Version
14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a (A)lowly kingdom. 15 It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore.
