Daniel 4:9-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 “O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that you are endowed with a spirit of the holy gods[a] and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Hear[b] the dream that I saw, and tell me its interpretation.(A)
10 [c]Upon my bed this is what I saw:
there was a tree at the center of the earth,
and its height was great.(B)
11 The tree grew great and strong,
its top reached to heaven,
and it was visible to the ends of the whole earth.
12 Its foliage was beautiful,
its fruit abundant,
and it provided food for all.
The animals of the field found shade under it,
the birds of the air nested in its branches,
and from it all living beings were fed.(C)
