14 He cried aloud and said: ‘Cut down the tree and chop off its branches, strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from beneath it and the birds from its branches. 15 But leave its stump and roots in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his lot be with the animals of the field in the grass of the earth. 16 Let his mind be changed from that of a human, and let the mind of an animal be given to him. And let seven times pass over him. Daniel 4:14-16, NRSV Catholic Edition. Copyright © 1989, 1993 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ.
