Verse in context — Daniel 4
Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its sight to the end of all the earth.
The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all: the animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.
He cried aloud, and said thus, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
