Daniel Interprets the Dream

31 "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

32 ¹The head of this image was of fine gold, ²its chest and arms of silver, its middle and ³thighs of bronze,

33 ⁴its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

34 As you looked, a stone was cut out ⁵by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and ⁶broke them in pieces.

35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became ⁷like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that ⁸not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became ⁹a great mountain ¹⁰and filled the whole earth.

36 "This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation.

37 You, O king, ¹¹the king of kings, to whom ¹²the God of heaven ¹³has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,

38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, ¹⁴the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all--you are ¹⁵the head of gold.

39 ¹⁶Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom ¹⁷of bronze, ¹⁸which shall rule over all the earth.

40 And ¹⁹there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron ²⁰breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall ²¹break and crush all these.

41 And as you saw ²²the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the ²³firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage,^a but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

44 And in the days of those kings ²⁴the God of heaven will set up ²⁵a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. ²⁶It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and ²⁷it shall stand forever,

45 just as ²⁸you saw that ²⁹a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that ³⁰it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A ³¹great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."
