Daniel 2 — Context

34

And so you looked until a stone was broken off without hands from a mountain, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay, and it shattered them.

35

Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and diminished like the ashes of a summer courtyard, and they were quickly taken away by the wind, and no place was found for them; but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

36

This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.

37

You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,

38

and all the places wherein the sons of men and the beasts of the field dwell. He has likewise given the flying creatures of the air into your hand, and he has placed all things under your realm. Therefore, you are the head of gold.

39

And after you, another kingdom will rise up, inferior to you, of silver, and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over the whole world.

40

And the fourth kingdom will be like iron. Just as iron shatters and conquers all things, so will it shatter and crush all these.
