我在床上時，我腦海中的異象是這樣的：我正在觀看，看哪，在大地中間有一棵樹，極其高大！這樹繼續長大，變得茁壯，高達於天，全地極都能看到；它的葉子美麗，果實繁多，足以給眾生作食物；田野的走獸在它之下得蔭庇，天空的飛鳥在它的枝子上住宿，一切有血肉的都從它得供養。「我在床上時，我在腦海中的異象裡繼續觀看，看哪，有一位守望者，就是一位聖者，從天上降下！他大聲高呼，這樣說：『你們當砍倒這樹，砍掉它的枝子，打落它的葉子，拋散它的果實；使走獸從樹下逃離，使飛鳥從樹枝逃離！然而你們當把帶根的樹樁留在地裡，在田野的青草中用鐵圈和銅圈套住——讓他被天上的露水濕透，在地上的牧草中與走獸一同有份；讓他的心從人的心改變，並給他一個獸的心，讓七個時期從他流過。這是守望者們所宣告的裁決，是聖者們所宣布的決定，為要使活人明白：至高者在人的國中掌權，他願意把國賜給誰就賜給誰，甚至把最卑微的人立在一國之上。』「以上就是我尼布甲尼撒王所做的夢。伯提沙撒啊，你講說夢的釋義吧！因為我國中的所有智慧人都不能把夢的釋義顯明給我；只有你能，因為你裡面有聖潔之神的靈。」
