Daniel Interprets the Dream

31 “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. 32 (A)The head of this image was of fine gold, (B)its chest and arms of silver, its middle and (C)thighs of bronze, 33 (D)its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out (E)by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and (F)broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became (G)like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that (H)not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became (I)a great mountain (J)and filled the whole earth.

31 “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32 (A)This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and [a]thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of [b]clay. 34 You watched while a stone was cut out (B)without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 (C)Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became (D)like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that (E)no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image (F)became a great mountain (G)and filled the whole earth.
