The Prophecy of Daniel 4:23 - Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version But whereas he commanded that the stump of the roots thereof that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven. Good News Bible (Catholic edition in Septuagint order) While Your Majesty was watching, an angel came down from heaven and said, ‘Cut the tree down and destroy it, but leave the stump in the ground. Wrap a band of iron and bronze round it, and leave it there in the field with the grass. Let the dew fall on this man, and let him live there with the animals for seven years.’ World English Bible British Edition “Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’ |
