Daniel 4:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle, and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of it.

¹⁰ I saw in the vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.

¹¹ He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches.
