但以理書 4:23

王既看見一位守望的聖者從天而降，說：『將這樹砍伐毀壞，樹墩卻要留在地內，用鐵圈和銅圈箍住；在田野的青草中，讓天露滴濕，使他與地上的獸一同吃草，直到經過七期。』

wáng jì kàn jiàn yí wèi shǒu wàng de shèng zhě cóng tiān ér jiàng ， shuō ：『 jiāng zhè shù kǎn fá huǐ huài ， shù pī què yào liú zài dì nèi ， yòng tiě quān hé tóng quān gū zhù ； zài tián yě de qīng cǎo zhōng ， ràng tiān lù dī shī ， shǐ tā yǔ dì shàng de shòu yì tóng chī cǎo ， zhí dào jīng guò qī qī 。』

“Whereas the king saw a holy watcher coming down from the sky and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’
