Daniel 4:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² Yet leave a stump with its roots in the earth,
    in fetters of iron and bronze,
    in the tender grass of the field.
Let him be damp with the dew of heaven,
    and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
¹³ Let his mind be altered from that of a man
and let an animal’s mind be given to him
and let seven periods of time pass over him.
¹⁴ This sentence is by the decree of the watchers,
    this verdict by the command of the holy ones,
so that the living may know
    that the Most High is sovereign over the realm of man
and bestows it to whomever He wishes,
    and may set over them even the lowliest of men.’
