Daniel 4:15-16

15 But leave its deepest root in the earth,
bound with iron and bronze in the field grass.
Dew from heaven is to wash it,
and it must live with the animals in the earth’s vegetation.
16 Its[a] human mind is to be changed:
it will be given the mind of an animal.
Seven periods of time will pass over it.
