*
And there shall be a fourth kingdom ,
strong as iron ,
because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things ;
and like iron which crushes ,
it shall break and crush all these .
*
And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter '
s clay and partly of iron ,
it shall be a divided kingdom ;
but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it ,
just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay .
*
And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay ,
so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle .
*
As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay ,
so they will mix with one another in marriage ,
but they will not hold together ,
just as iron does not mix with clay .
*
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed ,
nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people .
It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end ,
and it shall stand for ever ;
*
just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand ,
and that it broke in pieces the iron ,
the bronze ,
the clay ,
the silver ,
and the gold .
A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter .
The dream is certain ,
and its interpretation sure ."
