Daniel 2:27-40

27DanielH1841 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 and saidH560, “As for the secretH7328 about whichH1768 the kingH4430 has inquiredH7593, neitherH3809 1wiseH2445 menH2445, sorcerersH826, soothsayerH2749 priestsH2749, nor divinersH1505 are ableH3202 to declareH2331 it to the kingH4430. 28HoweverH1297, thereH383 isH383 a 2GodH426 in heavenH8065 whoH1768 revealsH1541 secretsH7328, and He has madeH3046 knownH3046 to KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 will takeH1934 placeH1934 in the 34latterH320 daysH3118. ThisH1836 was your dreamH2493 and the 5visionsH2376 6in your mindH7217 while on your bedH4903. 29As for you, O kingH4430, while on your bedH4903 your thoughtsH7476 7turnedH5559 to whatH4101 would takeH1934 placeH1934 8in the futureH311; and 9He who revealsH1541 secretsH7328 has madeH3046 knownH3046 to you whatH4101 will takeH1934 placeH1934. 30But as for me, thisH1836 secretH7328 has not been revealedH1541 to me 10for any 11wisdomH2452 12residingH383 in me moreH4481 thanH4481 in anyH3606 other livingH2417 personH2417, but for the purposeH1701 of makingH3046 the interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that you may understandH3046 the 13thoughtsH7476 of your 14mindH3825.

31“You, O kingH4430, were watchingH2370 and beholdH431, there was a singleH2298 greatH7690 statueH6755; that statueH6755, which was largeH7229 and 15of extraordinaryH3493 radianceH2122, was standingH6966 in frontH6903 of you, and its appearanceH7299 was 1617awesomeH1763. 32The 18headH7217 of that statueH6755 was made of fineH2869 goldH1722, its chestH2306 and its armsH1872 of silverH3702, its bellyH4577 and its thighsH3410 of bronzeH5174, 33its legsH8243 of ironH6523, and its feetH7271 partlyH4481 of ironH6523 and partlyH4481 of clayH2635. 34You 19continuedH1934 watchingH2370 untilH5705H1768 a 20stoneH69 was brokenH1505 off 21withoutH3809 handsH3028, and it struckH4223 the statueH6755 on its feetH7271 of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and 22crushedH1855 them. 35ThenH116 the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the bronzeH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722 were crushedH1855 toH1855 piecesH1855 23allH3606 at the sameH2298 timeH2298, and they were 24like chaffH5784 from the summerH7007 threshingH147 floorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away so that 25not a traceH870 of them was foundH7912. But the stoneH69 that struckH4223 the statueH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 26mountainH2906 and filledH4391 the entireH3606 earthH772.

36“ThisH1836 was the dreamH2493; and now we will tellH560 27its interpretationH6591 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 37You, O kingH4430, are the 28kingH4430 of kingsH4430, to whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 has givenH3052 the 29kingdomH4437, the 30powerH2632, the strengthH8632, and the honorH3367; 38and whereverH3606H1768 the sonsH1123 of mankindH606 liveH1753, or the 31animalsH2423 of the fieldH1251, or the birdsH5776 of the skyH8065, He has handedH3052H3028 them overH3052 to you and has made you rulerH7981 over them allH3606. You are the headH7217 of goldH1722. 39And afterH870 you anotherH321 kingdomH4437 will ariseH6966 inferiorH772 to you, then anotherH321 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of bronzeH5174, whichH1768 will ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772. 40Then there will be a 32fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 as strongH8624 as ironH6523; justH6903H1768 as ironH6523 smashesH1855 and crushesH2827 everythingH3606, so, like ironH6523 that crushesH7490, it will smashH1855 and crushH7490 allH3606 theseH459 things.
