Daniel 4:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ He spoke very loudly and said, ‘Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals under the tree ·run away [flee], and ·let the birds in its branches fly away [^Lthe birds from its branches]. ¹⁵ But leave the stump and its roots in the ground with a band of iron and bronze around it; let it stay in the field with the grass around it.

“‘Let the man become wet with dew of ·the sky [heaven], and let him live among the animals [^Lof the field] and ·plants [grass] of the earth. ¹⁶ Let ·him not think like a human any longer [^Lhis heart/mind be changed from human; ^Che will be deranged], but let him have the ·mind [heart] of an animal for seven ·years [^Lperiods; times].
