Daniel 2:31-38

31“You, O kingH4430, were lookingH2370 and beholdH431, there was a singleH2298 greatH7690 statueH6755; that statueH6755, which was largeH7229 and 1of extraordinaryH3493 splendorH2122, was standingH6966 in frontH6903 of you, and its appearanceH7299 was 2awesomeH1763. 32The 3headH7217 of that statueH6755 was made of fineH2869 goldH1722, its breastH2306 and its armsH1872 of silverH3702, its bellyH4577 and its thighsH3410 of bronzeH5174, 33its legsH8243 of ironH6523, its feetH7271 partlyH4481 of ironH6523 and partlyH4481 of clayH2635. 34You 4continuedH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 a 5stoneH69 was cutH1505 out 6withoutH3809 handsH3028, and it struckH4223 the statueH6755 on its feetH7271 of ironH6523 and clayH2635 and 7crushedH1855 them. 35ThenH116 the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the bronzeH5174, the silverH3702 and the goldH1722 were crushedH1855 8allH3606 at the sameH2298 timeH2298 and becameH1934 9like chaffH5784 from the summerH7007 threshingH147 floorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away so that 10not a traceH870 of them was foundH7912. But the stoneH69 that struckH4223 the statueH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 11mountainH2906 and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.

36“ThisH1836 was the dreamH2493; now we will tellH560 12its interpretationH6591 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 37You, O kingH4430, are the 13kingH4430 of kingsH4430, to whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 has givenH3052 the 14kingdomH4437, the 15powerH2632, the strengthH8632 and the gloryH3367; 38and whereverH3606H1768 the sonsH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, or the 16beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, or the birdsH5776 of the skyH8065, He has givenH3052 them into your handH3028 and has caused you to ruleH7981 over them allH3606. You are the headH7217 of goldH1722.
