Daniel 2:37-40

37You, O king, are the 1king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the 2kingdom, the 3power, the strength, and the honor;

38and wherever the sons of mankind live, or the 4animals 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 5fourth 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.
