Daniel 2 📜 📕 ↷
31 Thou o king didst see, and behold as it were one great statua: that statua, great and high of stature stood over against thee, and the sight thereof was terrible.📜💬📚
32 The head of this statua was of the best gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, moreover the belly, and the thighs of brass:📜💬📚
33 and the legs of iron, of the feet a certain part was of iron, and a certain of earth.📜💬📚
34 Thou sawest so, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statua on the iron, & earthen feet thereof, & brake them in pieces.📜💬📚
35 Then were the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and gold broken together, and brought as it were into the dust of a summer's floor, that are taken violently with the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statua, was made a great mountain, and it filled all the earth.📜💬📚
36 This is the dream: the interpretation also thereof we will tell before thee, o king.📜💬📚
37 Thou art the king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee kingdom, and strength, and empire, and glory:📜💬📚
38 and all things, wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do inhabit, the fowls also of the heaven he hath given in thy hand, and under thy dominion he hath appointed all things: thou therefore art the golden head.📜💬📚
39 And after thee shall rise up an other kingdom less than thou of silver: and an other third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.📜💬📚
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as it were iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, & tameth all things, so shall that break, and destroy all these.📜💬📚
41 Moreover because thou sawest part of the feet, and of the toes of the potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, which notwithstanding shall rise of the ground of iron, according as thou sawest the iron mingled with the earth of clay.📜💬📚
42 And the toes in part of iron, and in part of earth: in part the kingdom shall be whole, and in part broken.📜💬📚
43 And that thou sawest the iron mingled with the earth of clay, they shall be mingled in deed together with man's seed, but they shall not stick fast one to an other, as iron can not be mingled with earth.📜💬📚
44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of Heaven will raise up a kingdom, that shall not be dissipated for ever, and his kingdom shall not be delivered to an other people: and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms: and itself shall stand for ever.📜💬📚
45 According as thou sawest, that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and brake the earth in pieces, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewed the king what things are to come hereafter. & the dream is true, & the interpretation thereof faithful.📜💬📚
