And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

And as for the vision which the king saw of a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven, saying, Let the tree be cut down and given to destruction;

Περι δε του οτι ειδεν ο βασιλευς φυλακα και αγιον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου και λεγοντα, Κοψατε το δενδρον και καταστρεψατε αυτο· μονον το στελεχος των ριζων αυτου αφησατε εν τη γη, και τουτο με δεσμον σιδηρουν και χαλκουν, εν τω τρυφερω χορτω του αγρου· και ας βρεχηται υπο της δροσου του ουρανου και μετα των θηριων του αγρου ας ηναι η μερις αυτου, εωσου παρελθωσιν επτα καιροι επ' αυτο·
