13 ♥ 📝 I saw^H1934 in the visions^H2376 of my head^H7217 upon^H5922 my bed,^H4903 and, behold,^H431 a watcher^H5894 and a holy one^H6922 came down^H5182 from^H4481 heaven.^H8065

14 ♥ 📝 He cried^H7123 aloud,^H2429 and said^H560 thus,^H3652 Hew down^H1414 the tree,^H363 and cut off^H7113 its branches,^H6056 shake off^H5426 its leaves,^H6074 and scatter^H921 its fruit:^H4 let the beasts^H2423 get away^H5111 from^H4481 under it,^H8479 and the fowls^H6853 from^H4481 its branches.^H6056

16 ♥ 📝 let his heart^H3825 be changed^H8133 from^H4481 man's,^H606 and let a beast's^H2423 heart^H3825 be given^H3052 unto him; and let seven^H7655 times^H5732 pass^H2499 over^H5922 him.

17 ♥ 📝 The sentence^H6600 is by the decree^H1510 of the watchers,^H5894 and the demand^H7595 by the word^H3983 of the holy ones;^H6922 to^H5705 the intent^H1701 that the living^H2417 may know^H3046 that the Most High^H5943 ruleth^H7990 in the kingdom^H4437 of men,^H606 and giveth^H5415 it to whomsoever^H4479 he will,^H6634 and setteth up^H6966 over^H5922 it the lowest^H8215 of men.^H606

Belteshazzar^H1096 answered^H6032 and said,^H560 My lord,^H4756 the dream^H2493 be to them that hate^H8131 thee, and the interpretation^H6591 thereof to thine adversaries.^H6146

26 ♥ 📝 And whereas they commanded^H560 to leave^H7662 the stump^H6136 of the roots^H8330 of the tree;^H363 thy kingdom^H4437 shall be sure^H7011 unto thee, after^H4481 that thou shalt have known^H3046 that the heavens^H8065 do rule.^H7990

27 ♥ 📝 Wherefore,^H3861 O king,^H4430 let my counsel^H4431 be acceptable^H8232 unto thee,^H5922 and break off^H6562 thy sins^H2408 by righteousness,^H6665 and thine iniquities^H5758 by showing mercy^H2604 to the poor;^H6033 if^H2006 there may be^H1934 a lengthening^H754 of thy tranquillity.^H7963
