Revised Version 1895
Daniel 2:32-45
32As for this imageH6755, his headH7217 was of fineH2869 goldH1722, his breastH2306 and his armsH1872 of silverH3702, his bellyH4577 and his thighsH3410 of brass,
33his legsH8243 of ironH6523, his feetH7271 partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635.
34Thou sawest till that a stoneH69 was cutH1505 outH1505 withoutH3809 handsH3028, whichH1768 smote the imageH6755 upon his feetH7271 that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brake them in pieces.
35Then was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brass, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken in pieces together, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 of the summerH7007 threshing-floors; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away, that noH3809 placeH1934 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smote the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
36This is the dreamH2493; and we will tellH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
37Thou, O kingH4430, art kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 the kingdomH4437, the powerH2632, and the strengthH2632, and the gloryH3367;
38and wheresoever the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowls of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath madeH7981 thee to ruleH7981 over them allH3606: thou art the headH7217 of goldH1722.
39And afterH870 thee shall ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to thee; and anotherH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brass, whichH1768 shall bear ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772.
40And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall be strongH8624 as ironH6523: forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in piecesH7490 and subdueth allH3606 things: and as ironH6523 that crusheth allH3606 theseH459, shall it breakH7490 in piecesH7490 and crushH1855.
41And whereas thou sawest the feetH7271 and toesH677, partH4481 of potters’ clayH2635, and partH4481 of ironH6523, it shall be a dividedH6386 kingdomH4437; but there shall be in it of the strength of the ironH6523, forasmuch as thou sawest the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miry clayH2635.
42And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635, soH4481 the kingdomH4437 shall be partlyH4481 strongH8624, and partlyH4481 broken.
43And whereas thou sawest the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miry clayH2635, they shall mingle themselves with the seedH2234 of menH606; but they shall notH3809 cleave one to anotherH1836, evenH1768 as ironH6523 doth notH3809 mingle with clayH2635.
44And in the daysH3118 of thoseH1768 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 setH6966 up a kingdomH4437, whichH1768 shall never be destroyedH2255, norH3809 shall the sovereigntyH4437 thereof be leftH7662 to anotherH321 peopleH5972; but it shall break in pieces and consume allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and it shall standH6966 for everH5957.
45Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stoneH69 was cutH1505 outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028, and that it brake in pieces the ironH6523, the brass, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 shall come to pass hereafter: and the dreamH2493 is certain, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sureH3330.
