Daniel 2:32-38

32The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,

33its legs were iron, and its feet were a combination of iron and baked clay.

34As you watched, a rock was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands. It struck the feet of iron and clay, smashing them to bits.

35The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Then the wind blew them away without a trace, like chaff on a threshing floor. But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.

36“That was the dream. Now we will tell the king what it means.

37Your Majesty, you are the greatest of kings. The God of heaven has given you sovereignty, power, strength, and honor.

38He has made you the ruler over all the inhabited world and has put even the wild animals and birds under your control. You are the head of gold.
