Daniel 2:38-40

English Standard Version

³⁸ and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, ^(A)the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are ^(B)the head of gold. ^39 (C)Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom ^(D)of bronze, ^(E)which shall rule over all the earth. ⁴⁰ And ^(F)there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron ^(G)breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall ^(H)break and crush all these.
