Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ ^(4:17) The tree that thou hast seen, which grew, and was strong, the height of which reached unto the heaven, and which was visible to all the earth; ²¹ ^(4:18) The foliage of which was splendid, and the fruit of which was large, and on which was food for all; under which dwelt the beasts of the field, and in the boughs of which nestled the fowls of the heaven:— ²² ^(4:19) It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; and thy greatness is grown apace, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion is to the end of the earth. ²³ ^(4:20) And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, who said, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the body of its roots in the earth, but bound in fetters of iron and copper, among the grass of the field; and let it be made wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times elapse over it:— ²⁴ ^(4:21) This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the resolve of the Most High, which will come over my lord the king: ²⁵ ^(4:22) They will drive thee away from men, and with the beasts of the field is thy dwelling to be, and they will suffer thee to eat herbs like oxen, and they will suffer thee to be made wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will elapse over thee; until that thou wilt know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he pleaseth. ²⁶ ^(4:23) And whereas they ordered to leave the body of the roots of the tree: thy kingdom will remain unto thee, as soon as thou wilt know that the Heavens do rule.
