15 Yet (A)leave the stump [a]with its roots in the earth,
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 beasts in the grass of the earth.

And let the heart of a beast be given to him,
And let (B)seven [c]periods of time pass over him.
17 This edict is by the resolution of the watchers,
And the decision is a command of the holy ones,
In order that the living may (C)know
That the Most High is the powerful ruler over the kingdom of mankind
And (D)gives it to whom He wishes
And sets up over it the (E)lowliest of men.”
