Daarna zag u een engel van God uit de hemel neerdalen en u hoorde hem zeggen: “Hak de boom om en vernietig hem, maar laat zijn wortelstronk in de aarde zitten, bijeengehouden door banden van ijzer en koper en omringd door fris groen gras. Laat de dauw uit de hemel hem bevochtigen en laat hem gras eten met de dieren, zeven jaar lang.”

“E tu, ó rei, viste também uma sentinela, o anjo que descia do céu e dizia: ‘Derrubem a árvore e destruam-na, mas deixem o toco e as suas raízes, presos com ferro e bronze; fique ele no chão, em meio à relva do campo. Ele será molhado com o orvalho do céu e viverá com os animais selvagens, até que se passem sete tempos’.
Então viste um anjo, um vigilante santo que veio dos céus dizer: ‘Cortem a árvore, derrubem-na, mas deixem o cepo e as raízes na terra, com a erva crescendo em torno e presa com cadeias de ferro e bronze! Que se cubra o orvalho dos céus! Que se alimente de erva, durante sete anos, como os animais do campo!’
