Daniel 4:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit was plentiful. On it there was enough food for all. Under the tree the wild animals had shade, and the birds of the air lived in its branches. All living creatures fed themselves from it.

¹³ I was on my bed, watching the visions in my head, and I saw a watcher,^[a] who was a holy one, come down from heaven. ¹⁴ He called out loudly, and this is what he said:

Chop down the tree and cut off its branches. Strip its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.
