34 You [a]continued looking until a (A)stone was cut out (B)without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and (C)crushed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed [b]all at the same time and became (D)like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that (E)not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great (F)mountain and filled the whole earth.

The Divine Kingdom

44 In the days of those kings the (A)God of heaven will (B)set up a (C)kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be [a]left for another people; it will (D)crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that a (E)stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the (F)great God has made known to the king what (G)will take place [b]in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
