Daniel:2:31-45
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou ,
O king ,
sawest ,
and behold a great image .
This great image ,
whose brightness was excellent ,
stood before thee ;
and the form thereof was terrible .
*
This image '
s head was of fine gold ,
his breast and his arms of silver ,
his belly and his thighs of brass ,
*
His legs of iron ,
his feet part of iron and part of clay .
*
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands ,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay ,
and brake them to pieces .
*
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 carried 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 .
*
This is the dream ;
and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king .
*
Thou ,
O king ,
art a king of kings :
for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom ,
power ,
and strength ,
and glory .
*
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 .
*
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee ,
and another third kingdom of brass ,
which shall bear rule over all the earth .
*
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron :
forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things :
and as iron that breaketh all these ,
shall it break in pieces and bruise .
*
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes ,
part of potters '
clay ,
and part of iron ,
the kingdom shall be divided ;
but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron ,
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay .
*
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron ,
and part of clay ,
so the kingdom shall be partly strong ,
and partly broken .
*
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay ,
they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men :
but they shall not cleave one to another ,
even as iron is not mixed with clay .
*
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom ,
which shall never be destroyed :
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people ,
but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms ,
and it shall stand for ever .
*
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands ,
and that it brake in pieces the iron ,
the brass ,
the clay ,
the silver ,
and the gold ;
the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter :
and the dream is certain ,
and the interpretation thereof sure .
