This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 4 of Daniel. The enormous tree occupies the center of the dream and represents greatness reaching numerous peoples and creatures. However, a heavenly watcher orders it to be cut down, leaving only the stump. The image contains both exaltation and judgment: a ruler’s greatness may benefit many, but his authority is limited by a heavenly decision. The dream turns political pride into a matter of divine government.
