    31 You, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.

    32 This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

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

    34 You watched until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
