Daniel 2:40-44

40Then there will be a 1fourth 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 2common clay.

42As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

43And in that you saw the iron mixed with 3common clay, they will combine with one another 4in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

44In the days of those kings the 5God of heaven will 6set up a 7kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be 8left for another people; it will 9crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.
