Daniel 2:32-45

32As for this imageH6755, its headH7217 was of fine goldH1722, its breast and its arms of silverH3702, its belly and its thighs of brass, 33its legs of ironH6523, its feet part of ironH6523, and part of clayH2635. 34Thou sawest till that a stoneH69 was cutH1505 out without handsH3028, which smote the imageH6755 upon its feet that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brake them in pieces. 35ThenH116 was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brass, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smote the imageH6755 became a greatH7229 mountain, and filledH4391 the whole earthH772.

36This is the dreamH2493; and we will tellH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof before the kingH4430. 37Thou, O kingH4430, art kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto whom the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath given the kingdomH4437, the powerH2632, and the strength, and the glory; 38and wheresoever the children of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the birdsH5776 of the heavensH8065 hath he given into thy handH3028, and hath made thee to ruleH7981 over them all: thou art the headH7217 of goldH1722. 39And after thee shall ariseH6966 another kingdomH4437 inferior to thee; and another thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brass, which shall bear ruleH7981 over all the earthH772. 40And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall be strongH8624 as ironH6523, forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as ironH6523 that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. 41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toesH677, part of potters’ clayH2635, and part of ironH6523, it shall be a divided kingdomH4437; but there shall be in it of the strength of the ironH6523, forasmuch as thou sawest the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miry clayH2635. 42And as the toesH677 of the feet were part of ironH6523, and part of clayH2635, so the kingdomH4437 shall be partly strongH8624, and partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miry clayH2635, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of menH606; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as ironH6523 doth not mingle with clayH2635. 44And in the daysH3118 of those kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 setH6966 up a kingdomH4437 which shall never be destroyedH2255, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be leftH7662 to another peopleH5972; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdomsH4437, and it shall standH6966 for everH5957. 45Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stoneH69 was cutH1505 out of the mountain without handsH3028, and that it brake in pieces the ironH6523, the brass, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dreamH2493 is certain, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sure.
