Daniel 2:34-40

34You 1continuedH1934 watchingH2370 untilH5705H1768 a 2stoneH69 was brokenH1505 off 3withoutH3809 handsH3028, and it struckH4223 the statueH6755 on its feetH7271 of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and 4crushedH1855 them. 35ThenH116 the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the bronzeH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722 were crushedH1855 toH1855 piecesH1855 5allH3606 at the sameH2298 timeH2298, and they were 6like chaffH5784 from the summerH7007 threshingH147 floorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away so that 7not a traceH870 of them was foundH7912. But the stoneH69 that struckH4223 the statueH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 8mountainH2906 and filledH4391 the entireH3606 earthH772.

36“ThisH1836 was the dreamH2493; and now we will tellH560 9its interpretationH6591 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 37You, O kingH4430, are the 10kingH4430 of kingsH4430, to whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 has givenH3052 the 11kingdomH4437, the 12powerH2632, the strengthH8632, and the honorH3367; 38and whereverH3606H1768 the sonsH1123 of mankindH606 liveH1753, or the 13animalsH2423 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 14fourthH7244 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.
