Daniel 2:31-39

Daniel 2:31-39

[31] O king,  sawest,  and behold  a great  image.  This  great  image,  whose brightness  was excellent,  stood  before  thee; and the form  thereof was terrible.  [32] This image's  head  was of fine  gold,  his breast  and his arms  of silver,  his belly  and his thighs  of brass,  [33] His legs  of iron,  his feet  part  of iron  and part  of clay.  [34] Thou sawest  till  that a stone  was cut out  without  hands,  which smote  the image  upon  his feet  that were of iron  and clay,  them  to pieces.  [35] Then  was the iron,  the clay,  the brass,  the silver,  and the gold,  broken to pieces  together,  and became  like the chaff  of  the summer  threshingfloors;  and the wind  them  away,  that  no  place  was found  for them: and the stone  that smote  the image  became  a great  mountain,  and filled  the whole  earth.  [36] This  is the dream;  and we will tell  the interpretation  thereof before  the king.  [37] O king,  for the God  of heaven  hath given  thee a kingdom,  power,  and strength,  and glory.  [38] And wheresoever  the children  of men  dwell,  the beasts  of the field  and the fowls  of the heaven  hath he given  into thine hand,  and hath made thee ruler  over them all.  Thou  art this head  of gold.  [39] And after  thee shall arise  another  kingdom  inferior  to thee,  and another  third  kingdom  of brass,  which shall bear rule  over all  the earth.
