    45This is because you saw a stone cut out from a mountain without human hands, and it crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God has made known to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is trustworthy.

    31You, O king, were watching, and behold, a great image! This image, immense and of dazzling brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

    32The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze.

    33Its legs were made of iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.

    34While you were watching, a stone was cut out, not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet and broke them into pieces.

    35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were all crushed together and became like chaff from a summer threshing floor. The wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

    36This was the dream, and we will now tell the king its interpretation.

    37You, O king, are the king of kings, for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory.

    38He has placed into your hands control over every person, animal, and bird that dwells under the heavens. Wherever they live, He has given you sovereignty over them all. You are the head of gold.

    39After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours; then a third kingdom, made of bronze, which will rule over the whole earth.

    40Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, for iron crushes and shatters everything. And just as iron breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all the others.

    41But as you saw the feet and toes made partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom. However, it will have some of the strength of iron, as you saw the iron mixed with the clay.

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

    43As you saw the iron mixed with clay, the people will mix but will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
