Daniel 4:22-24

New English Translation

²² it is you,^[a] O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth. ²³ As for the king seeing a holy sentinel coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its taproot in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, surrounded by the grass of the field. Let it become damp with the dew of the sky, and let it live with the wild animals, until seven periods of time go by for him’— ²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king. It is the decision of the Most High that this has happened to my lord the king.
