Daniel

Daniel 4:15–16

¹⁵But leave the stump with its roots in the ground,

with a band of iron and bronze around it,

in the tender grass of the field.

Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven

and graze with the beasts on the grass of the earth.

¹⁶Let his mind be changed from that of a man,

and let him be given the mind of a beast

till seven times pass him by.
