Daniel

Daniel 4:10–12

¹⁰In these visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this come to pass:

There was a tree in the midst of the land,

and its height was great.

¹¹The tree grew large and strong;

its top reached the sky,

and it was visible

to the ends of the earth.

¹²Its leaves were beautiful,

its fruit was abundant,

and upon it was food for all.

Under it the beasts of the field found shelter,

in its branches the birds of the air nested,

and from it every creature was fed.
