Daniel 2:29-45
29As youH607 lay onH5922 your bedH4903, O kingH4430, your thoughtsH7476 turnedH5559 toH4101H1768 the futureH1934H311H1836, and the RevealerH1541 of MysteriesH7328 made known to youH3046 whatH4101H1768 will happenH1934. 30And to meH576 thisH1836 mysteryH7328 has been revealedH1541, notH3809 becauseH1768 I haveH383 more wisdomH2452 thanH4481 any manH3606 aliveH2417, butH3861 in order thatH5922H1701H1768 the interpretationH6591 might be made knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that you may understandH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of your mindH3825.
31As youH607, O kingH4430, were watchingH2370H1934, aH2298 greatH7690 statueH67551 appearedH431. A greatH7229 and dazzlingH2122 statueH6755H3493 stoodH6966 before youH6903, and its formH7299 was awesomeH1763. 32The headH7217H1768 of the statueH6755 was pureH2869 goldH1722, its chestH2306 and armsH1872H1768 were silverH3702, its bellyH4577 and thighsH3410H1768 were bronzeH5174, 33its legsH8243H1768 were ironH6523, and its feetH7271 were partH4481H1768 ironH6523 and partH4481H1768 clayH2635.
34As youH1934 watchedH2370, a stoneH69H1768 was cut outH1505,2 but notH3809 by human handsH3028. It struckH4223 the statueH6755 onH5922 its feetH7271 ofH1768 ironH6523 and clayH2635, and crushedH1855 themH1994. 35ThenH116 the ironH6523, clayH2635, bronzeH5174, silverH3702, and goldH1722 were shatteredH1855H2298 and becameH1934 like chaffH5784 onH4481 the threshing floorH147 in summerH7007. The windH7308 carried themH1994 awayH5376, andH3606 notH3809 a traceH870 of them could be foundH7912. But the stoneH69 thatH1768 had struckH4223 the statueH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906 and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
36ThisH1836 was the dreamH2493; now we will tellH560H6925 the kingH4430 its interpretationH6591.
37YouH607, O kingH4430, are the kingH4430 of kingsH4430, to whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 has givenH3052 sovereigntyH4437, powerH2632, strengthH8632, and gloryH3367. 38WhereverH3606H1768 the sonsH1123 of menH606 or beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 or birdsH5776 of the airH8065 dwellH1753, He has givenH3052 them into your handH3028 and has made you rulerH7981 over them allH3606. YouH607 are thatH1932 headH7217 ofH1768 goldH1722.
39But after youH870, there will ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437, inferiorH772 to yoursH4481.
Next, aH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437, one ofH1768 bronzeH5174, will ruleH7981 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
40Finally, there will beH1934 a fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 as strongH8624 as ironH6523; forH6903H1768 ironH6523 shattersH1855 and crushesH2827 all thingsH3606, and like ironH6523 thatH1768 crushesH7490 all thingsH3606, it will shatterH1855 and crushH7490 all the othersH459. 41And just asH1768 you saw thatH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677 were madeH4481H6353 partly ofH1768 fired clayH2635 and partly ofH4481 ironH6523, so this will beH1934 a dividedH6386 kingdomH4437, yetH4481 some of the strengthH5326 ofH1768 ironH6523 will be in itH1934—just asH6903H1768 you sawH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with clayH2635H2917. 42And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partlyH4481 ironH6523H4481 and partlyH4481 clayH2635, so this kingdomH4437 will beH1934 partlyH7118 strongH8624 and partlyH4481 brittleH8406. 43AsH1768 you sawH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with clayH2635H2917, so the peoplesH2234H6063 will mix with one anotherH6151H1934 but will notH3809H1934 hold togetherH1693H1836H5974 any moreH1888 thanH1768 ironH6523 mixesH6151 withH5974 clayH2635.
44In the daysH3118 of thoseH581 kingsH4430, the GodH426 of heavenH8065 will set upH6966 a kingdomH4437 thatH1768 will neverH5957H3809 be destroyedH2255, nor willH3809 it be leftH7662 to anotherH321 peopleH5972. It will shatterH1855 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437H1932 and bring them to an endH5487, but will itself standH6966 foreverH5957. 45And just asH3606H6903H1768 you sawH2370H1768 a stoneH69H1768 being cut outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 human handsH3028, and it shatteredH1855 the ironH6523, bronzeH5174, clayH2635, silverH3702, and goldH1722, so the greatH7229 GodH426 has toldH3046 the kingH4430 whatH4101H1768 will happenH1934 in the futureH311H1836.
The dreamH2493 is trueH3330, and its interpretationH6591 is trustworthyH540.”
