Daniel 4:23-25

Legacy Standard Bible

²³ But in that the king saw a watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, “^(A)Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump ^[a]with its roots in the earth, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let ^[b]him share with the beasts of the field until ^(B)seven ^[c]periods of time pass over him,” ²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the resolution of the Most High, which has ^(C)reached my lord the king: ²⁵ that you be ^(D)driven away from mankind and your place of habitation be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven ^[d]periods of time will pass over you, until you know that the ^(E)Most High is the powerful ruler over the kingdom of mankind and ^(F)gives it to whomever He wishes.
