Daniel 2:34-40

34You 1continued watching until a 2stone was broken off 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 to pieces 5all at the same time, and they were 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 entire earth.

36“This was the dream; and 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 honor; 38and wherever the sons of mankind live, or the 13animals of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has handed them over to you and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold. 39And after you another kingdom will arise 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; just as iron smashes and crushes everything, so, like iron that crushes, it will smash and crush all these things.
