Daniel 2:44-49

44And in 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. 45Just as you saw that a 6stone was broken off from 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 certain and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

46Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and paid 10humble respect to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and 11incense. 47The king responded to Daniel and said, “12Your God truly is a 13God of gods and a Lord of kings and a 14revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.” 48Then the king 1516promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the entire 17province of Babylon, and chief 18prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. 49And Daniel made a request of the king, and he 19appointed 20Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king’s 2122court.
