Daniel 4:14

Listen to Daniel 4:14
14 y que a voz en cuello me gritaba: “¡Derriba el árbol y córtale las ramas; arráncale las hojas y esparce los frutos! ¡Haz que las bestias huyan de su sombra, y que las aves abandonen sus nidos!

Daniel 4:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:14

He cried aloud
Or, with strengths; F12 being a mighty angel, and that he might be heard far and near: and said thus, hew down the tree;
remove this mighty monarch from his throne; take away his government from him: this is said to fellow angels employed in the affairs of Providence, and the execution of them, to bring about an event so momentous: and cut off his branches;
take away his provinces, each of the parts of his dominion, from him: shake off his leaves:
cause his deputy governors to shake off their allegiance to him: and scatter his fruit;
the revenues of his vast empire, and let others take them: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches;
those that have either voluntarily betook themselves to him for protection; or have been carried captive by him, and have lived under his shadow, whether of the more barbarous nations, or more civilized, as the Jews; let them take the opportunity of withdrawing from him, and returning to their own lands; see ( Jeremiah 51:9 ) .

Daniel 4:14 In-Context

12 Tenía un hermoso follaje y abundantes frutos; ¡todo el mundo hallaba en él su alimento! Hasta las bestias salvajes venían a refugiarse bajo su sombra, y en sus ramas anidaban las aves del cielo. ¡Ese árbol alimentaba a todos los animales!
13 »En la visión que tuve mientras reposaba en mi lecho, vi ante mí a un mensajero santo que descendía del cielo
14 y que a voz en cuello me gritaba: “¡Derriba el árbol y córtale las ramas; arráncale las hojas y esparce los frutos! ¡Haz que las bestias huyan de su sombra, y que las aves abandonen sus nidos!
15 Pero deja enterrados el tocón y las raíces; sujétalos con hierro y bronce entre la hierba del campo. Deja que se empape con el rocío del cielo, y que habite con los animales y entre las plantas de la tierra.
16 Deja que su mentehumana se trastorne y se vuelva como la de un animal, hasta que hayan transcurrido siete años”.
