Daniel 4:12-14
New King James Version
12 Its leaves were lovely,
Its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
(A)The beasts of the field found shade under it,
The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches,
And all flesh was fed from it.
13 “I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was (B)a watcher, (C)a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14 He cried [a]aloud and said thus:
(D)‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.
(E)Let the beasts get out from under it,
And the birds from its branches.
