Daniel 4:26Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingForsooth that he commanded that the seed of roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left, thy realm shall still dwell to thee, after that thou knowest that the power is of heaven. See the chapter |
Soothly that the king saw a watcher and holy come down from heaven, and say, Hew ye down the tree, and destroy ye it, nevertheless leave ye the seed of roots thereof in earth, and be he bound with iron and brass, in herbs withoutforth; and be he besprinkled with the dew of heaven, and his meat be with wild beasts, till seven times be changed on him;
and he was cast out from the sons of men; but also his heart was set [or put] with beasts, and his dwelling was with wild asses; also he ate hay as an ox doeth, and his body was coloured with the dew of heaven, till he knew, that the Highest hath power in the realm of men, and he shall raise on it whomever he will.
