13 I see, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a waker and a holy one descend from the heavens;
14 he calls out with valour, and says thus: Cut the tree and chop his branches; shake its foliage and scatter its fruit: so that the live beings flee from under it and the birds from his branches:
15 but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and copper in the sprouts of the field - dyed with the dew of the heavens; and his portion with the live beings in the herbage of the earth:
16 change his heart from that of a man and give him a heart of a live being; and seven times pass over him.
17 This decision is by the decree of the wakers; and the mandate by the edict of the holy ones: to the word so that the living know Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills; and raises the lowliest of men over it.
