7 So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, and Chaldeans came in, and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation;
8 until Daniel came, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God, to whom I said,
9 O Belteshazzar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in you, and no mystery is too hard for you, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.
10 I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
11 The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth;
12 its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed by it.
13 I beheld in the night vision upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven and cried aloud, and thus he said,
14 Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit — let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.
15 Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and bind it with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the outer grass, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.
16 His heart shall be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.
17 The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is Most High over the kingdom of men, and He will give it to whomever He will, and sets it over the lowest of men.
18 This is the vision which I, King Nebuchadnezzar saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to show me its interpretation — but you, Daniel, are able, for the Holy Spirit of God is in you.
