Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 4 of Daniel. Daniel is troubled because he understands that the vision announces judgment against Nebuchadnezzar. The tree represents the king himself, whose authority has extended over much of the known world. The interpretation maintains the symbolic language of the dream while revealing its moral function: imperial greatness does not guarantee stability when a ruler forgets that his authority is subordinate to God’s rule.

das bist du, König, der du so groß und mächtig geworden; denn deine Macht ist groß und reicht an den Himmel, und deine Gewalt langt bis an der Welt Ende.
Entonces Daniel, cuyo nombre era Beltsasar, estuvo callando casi una hora, y sus pensamientos lo espantaban: El rey habló, y dijo: Beltsasar, el sueño ni su declaración no te espante. Respondió Beltsasar, y dijo: Señor mío, el sueño sea para tus enemigos, y su declaración para los que mal te quieren.
Alors Daniel, nommé Beltschatsar, fut un moment stupéfait, et ses pensées le troublaient. Le roi reprit et dit: Beltschatsar, que le songe et l'explication ne te troublent pas! Et Beltschatsar répondit: Mon seigneur, que le songe soit pour tes ennemis, et son explication pour tes adversaires!
Allora Daniele, il cui nome è Beltsasar, restò stupefatto lo spazio di un’ora, e i suoi pensieri lo spaventavano. Ma il re gli fece motto, e disse: O Beltsasar, non turbiti il sogno, nè la sua interpretazione. Beltsasar rispose, e disse: Signor mio, avvenga il sogno a’ tuoi nemici, e la sua interpretazione a’ tuoi avversari.
Então Daniel, cujo nome era Beltessazar, esteve atônito por uma hora, e os seus pensamentos o turbavam; falou, pois, o rei, dizendo: Beltessazar, não te espante o sonho, nem a sua interpretação. Respondeu Beltessazar, dizendo: SENHOR meu, seja o sonho contra os que te têm ódio, e a sua interpretação aos teus inimigos.
