10 Thus are the visions of my head in my bed; I see, and behold, a tree midst the earth, and the height is great:
11 the tree greatens and empowers; and the height spreads to the heavens, and the sight to the consummation of all the earth:
12 the foliage is beautiful and the fruit much, and food therein for all: the live beings of the field shade under it and the birds of the heavens whirl in its branches and all flesh nourishes thereof.
13 I see, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a waker and a holy one descend from the heavens;
14 he calls out with valour, and says thus: Cut the tree and chop his branches; shake its foliage and scatter its fruit: so that the live beings flee from under it and the birds from his branches:
15 but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and copper in the sprouts of the field - dyed with the dew of the heavens; and his portion with the live beings in the herbage of the earth:
16 change his heart from that of a man and give him a heart of a live being; and seven times pass over him.
17 This decision is by the decree of the wakers; and the mandate by the edict of the holy ones: to the word so that the living know Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills; and raises the lowliest of men over it.
18 This dream, I sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar saw: and you, O Belte Shats Tsar, say the interpretation; because all the magi of my sovereigndom are not able to have me know the interpretation: and you can; for the spirit of the holy elahim is in you.
