Daniel 4:20-23

CLV(i) 20 The oak that you perceived, that increases and is mighty, and its height is reaching to the heavens, and it is perceptible to the entire earth, 21 and its leaves are seemly, and its pollination abundant, and sustenance for all is in it, under it the animal of the field is abiding, and in its boughs are roosting the birds of the heavens--" 22 you it is, O king, seeing that you are increased and mighty, and your grandeur is increased, and reaches to the heavens, and your authority to the extremity of the earth." 23 And seeing that the king perceived a holy rouser alighting from the heavens and saying, `Slash down the oak and harm it, but the stump with its roots leave in the earth clamped with a band of iron and copper; in the verdure of the field with the night mist of the heavens shall he be streaked; with the animals of the field shall be his portion till seven seasons shall pass on over him'--"
