Daniel 4:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹Its foliage was beautiful,
    and its fruit was abundant,
    providing fruit for all.
The wild beasts found shade under it,
    the birds of the air rested in its branches,
    and from it all living creatures were nourished.

¹⁰“In the vision I saw as I lay in my bed, I next beheld a holy sentinel coming down from heaven. ¹¹He shouted loudly:

“ ‘Hew down the tree and lop off its branches;
strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit.
