Daniel 2:44-49

44In the days of those kings the 1God of heaven will 2set up a 3kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be 4left for another people; it will 5crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. 45Inasmuch as you saw that a 6stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the 7great God has made known to the king what 8will take place 9in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

46Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did 10homage to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and 1112fragrant incense. 47The king answered Daniel and said, “Surely 13your God is a 14God of gods and a Lord of kings and a 15revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery.” 48Then the king 1617promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the whole 18province of Babylon and chief 19prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. 49And Daniel made request of the king, and he 20appointed 21Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king’s 2223court.
