Daniel 2 — Context

30

"But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

31

"You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.

32

"The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

33

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

34

"You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.

35

"Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

36

"This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king.
