Daniel 4:12 Context
10Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middest of the earth, and the height thereof was great. 11The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached vnto heauen, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. 12The leaues thereof were faire, and the fruite thereof much, and in it was meate for all: the beasts of the field had shadow vnder it, and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughes thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. 13I sawe in the visions of my head vpon my bed, & behold, a watcher and an holy one came downe from heauen. 14He cryed aloude, and said thus; Hew downe the tree, and cut off his branches; shake off his leaues, and scatter his fruite; let the beasts get away from vnder it, and the foules from his branches.
