Daniel 4:13-15
King James Version
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

Daniel 4:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 ‘I was looking in the (A)visions [a]in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, (B)an angelic watcher, a (C)holy one, descended from heaven.
14 He shouted out and spoke as follows:
“(D)Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit;
Let the (E)animals flee from under it
And the birds from its branches.
15 Yet (F)leave the stump [b]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 [c]him share with the animals in the grass of the earth.
