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.

33 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; (B)they refuse to let them go. 34 (C)Their Redeemer is strong; (D)the Lord of hosts is his name. (E)He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

11 (A)For I am with you to save you,
declares the Lord;
(B)I will make a full end of all the nations
    among whom I scattered you,
    but of you I will not make a full end.
(C)I will (D)discipline you in just measure,
    and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

12 “For thus says the Lord:
(E)Your hurt is incurable,
    (F)and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to uphold your cause,
    no medicine for your wound,
    (G)no healing for you.
14 (H)All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of (I)an enemy,
    the punishment (J)of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
    (K)because your sins are flagrant.
15 (L)Why do you cry out over your hurt?
    (M)Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
    (N)because your sins are flagrant,
    I have done these things to you.
16 (O)Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
    and (P)all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
(Q)those who plunder you shall be plundered,
    (R)and all who prey on you I will make a prey.

  1. Isaiah 14:23 Possibly porcupine, or owl

The Remnant of Israel Will Return

20 (A)In that day (B)the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more (C)lean on him who struck them, but (D)will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, (E)to the mighty God. 22 (F)For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, (G)only a remnant of them will return. (H)Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people, (I)who dwell in Zion, (J)be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as (K)the Egyptians did. 25 For (L)in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.
