Daniel 2:33-41

33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34You 1continued looking until a 2stone was cut out 3without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and 4crushed them. 35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed 5all at the same time and became 6like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that 7not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great 8mountain and filled the whole earth.

36“This was the dream; now we will tell 9its interpretation before the king. 37You, O king, are the 10king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the 11kingdom, the 12power, the strength and the glory; 38and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the 13beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold. 39After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth. 40Then there will be a 14fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces. 41In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with 15common clay.
