Daniel 4:10-16 - Let him be drenched

4:10-15a

So the king tells Daniel his dream. He saw a tree of enormous height in middle of the land. It grew even larger and could be seen from everywhere. It was beautiful and fruitful and all the creatures and birds came to it for food. They were also sheltered by it. So all is looking good, but then a messenger from heaven came down and declared that the tree was to be cut down and its branches stripped, and its fruit scattered. The animals and birds that sheltered under it were to be scattered. However, a stump and its roots were to be left in the ground. 

4:15b-16

Then came the words “Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven ..” He was to love among the animals and the plants. His mind was to be changed from that of a man to that of an animal “till seven times (or years) pass by him”. This is a form of madness.
