Daniel 2:31-38
31“You, O kingH4430, were watchingH2370 and beholdH431, there was a singleH2298 greatH7690 statueH6755; that statueH6755, which was largeH7229 and 1of extraordinaryH3493 radianceH2122, was standingH6966 in frontH6903 of you, and its appearanceH7299 was 23awesomeH1763. 32The 4headH7217 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 5continuedH1934 watchingH2370 untilH5705H1768 a 6stoneH69 was brokenH1505 off 7withoutH3809 handsH3028, and it struckH4223 the statueH6755 on its feetH7271 of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and 8crushedH1855 them. 35ThenH116 the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the bronzeH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722 were crushedH1855 toH1855 piecesH1855 9allH3606 at the sameH2298 timeH2298, and they were 10like chaffH5784 from the summerH7007 threshingH147 floorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away so that 11not a traceH870 of them was foundH7912. But the stoneH69 that struckH4223 the statueH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 12mountainH2906 and filledH4391 the entireH3606 earthH772.
36“ThisH1836 was the dreamH2493; and now we will tellH560 13its interpretationH6591 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 37You, O kingH4430, are the 14kingH4430 of kingsH4430, to whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 has givenH3052 the 15kingdomH4437, the 16powerH2632, the strengthH8632, and the honorH3367; 38and whereverH3606H1768 the sonsH1123 of mankindH606 liveH1753, or the 17animalsH2423 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.
