Daniel 2:39-45

39AfterH870 you there will ariseH6966 anotherH321 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to you, then anotherH321 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of bronzeH5174, whichH1768 will ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772. 40Then there will be a 1fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 as strongH8624 as ironH6523; inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as ironH6523 crushesH1855 and shattersH2827 allH3606 thingsH3606, so, like ironH6523 that breaksH7490 in piecesH7490, it will crushH1855 and breakH7490 allH3606 theseH459 in piecesH7490. 41In that you sawH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677, partlyH4481 of potter’sH6353 clayH2635 and partlyH4481 of ironH6523, it will be a dividedH6386 kingdomH4437; but it will haveH1934 in it the toughnessH5326 of ironH6523, inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as you sawH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with 2commonH2917 clayH2635. 42As the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partlyH4481 of ironH6523 and partlyH4481 of potteryH2635, so someH4481H7118 of the kingdomH4437 will be strongH8624 and partH4481 of it will be brittleH8406. 43And in that you sawH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with 3commonH2917 clayH2635, they will combineH6151 with one another 4in the seedH2234 of menH606; but they will not adhereH1693 to oneH1836H5974 anotherH1836H5974, evenH1888 as ironH6523 does not combineH6151 with potteryH2635. 44In the daysH3118 of thoseH581 kingsH4430 the 5GodH426 of heavenH8065 will 6setH6966 up a 7kingdomH4437 whichH1768 will neverH5957H3809 be destroyedH2255, and that kingdomH4437 will not be 8leftH7662 for anotherH312 peopleH5972; it will 9crushH1855 and putH5487 an endH5487 to allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, but it will itselfH1932 endureH6966 foreverH5957. 45InasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as you sawH2370 that a 10stoneH69 was cutH1505 out of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028 and that it crushedH1855 the ironH6523, the bronzeH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, the 11greatH7229 GodH426 has madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 12will takeH1934 placeH1934 13in the futureH311; so the dreamH2493 is trueH3330 and its interpretationH6591 is trustworthyH540.”
