10. The visions of my head [as I lay] on my bed were these: I saw, and behold, [there was] a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
11. The tree grew and was strong and its height reached to the heavens, and the sight of it reached to the end of the whole earth.
12. Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The living creatures of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches; and all flesh was fed from it.
13. I saw in the visions of my head [as I lay] on my bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.
14. He cried aloud [with might] and said, Cut down the tree and cut off its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the living creatures flee from under it and the fowls from its branches.
