14 He shouted out and spoke as follows:
(A)Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit;
Let the (B)animals flee from under it
And the birds from its branches.
15 Yet (C)leave the stump [a]with its roots in the ground,
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 animals in the grass of the earth.
16 Let his [c]mind change from that of a human
And let an animal’s [d]mind be given to him,
And let (D)seven [e]periods of time pass over him.
