Daniel 4:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies.

¹⁷ The tree which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all the earth:

¹⁸ And the branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches.
