In the second year of his reign, King Nebuchadnezzar started having dreams that disturbed him deeply. He couldn't sleep.
Dan.2.1
In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his mind was troubled and he could not sleep.
Dan.2.1
Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him.
Dan.2.1
One night during the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that disturbed him so much that he couldn't sleep.
Dan.2.2
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
Dan.2.2
He called in all the Babylonian magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and fortunetellers to interpret his dreams for him. When they came and lined up before the king,
Dan.2.2
So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. When they came in and stood before the king,
Dan.2.2
Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
Dan.2.2
He called in his magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers, and he demanded that they tell him what he had dreamed. As they stood before the king,
Dan.2.3
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Dan.2.3
he said to them, "I had a dream that I can't get out of my mind. I can't sleep until I know what it means."
Dan.2.3
he said to them, "I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means. "
Dan.2.3
And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream."
Dan.2.3
he said, "I have had a dream that troubles me. Tell me what I dreamed, for I must know what it means."
Dan.2.4
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
Dan.2.4
The fortunetellers, speaking in the Aramaic language, said, "Long live the king! Tell us the dream and we will interpret it."
Dan.2.4
Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it."
Dan.2.4
Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation."
Dan.2.4
Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, "Long live the king! Tell us the dream, and we will tell you what it means."
Dan.2.5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Dan.2.5
The king answered the fortunetellers, "This is my decree: If you can't tell me both the dream itself and its interpretation, I'll have you ripped to pieces, limb from limb, and your homes torn down.
Dan.2.5
The king replied to the astrologers, "This is what I have firmly decided: If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble.
Dan.2.5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap.
Dan.2.5
But the king said to the astrologers, "I am serious about this. If you don't tell me what my dream was and what it means, you will be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be demolished into heaps of rubble!
Dan.2.6
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
Dan.2.6
But if you tell me both the dream and its interpretation, I'll lavish you with gifts and honors. So go to it: Tell me the dream and its interpretation."
Dan.2.6
But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and interpret it for me."
Dan.2.6
However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation."
Dan.2.6
But if you tell me what I dreamed and what the dream means, I will give you many wonderful gifts and honors. Just tell me the dream and what it means!"
Dan.2.7
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
Dan.2.7
They answered, "If it please your majesty, tell us the dream. We'll give the interpretation."
Dan.2.7
Once more they replied, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it."
Dan.2.7
They answered again and said, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will give its interpretation."
Dan.2.7
They said again, "Please, Your Majesty. Tell us the dream, and we will tell you what it means."
Dan.2.8
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
Dan.2.8
But the king said, "I know what you're up to--you're just playing for time. You know you're up a tree.
Dan.2.8
Then the king answered, "I am certain that you are trying to gain time, because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided:
Dan.2.8
The king answered and said, "I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm:
Dan.2.8
The king replied, "I can see through your trick! You are trying to stall for time because you know I am serious about what I said.
Dan.2.9
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
Dan.2.9
You know that if you can't tell me my dream, you're doomed. I see right through you--you're going to cook up some fancy stories and confuse the issue until I change my mind. Nothing doing! First tell me the dream, then I'll know that you're on the up and up with the interpretation and not just blowing smoke in my eyes."
Dan.2.9
If you do not tell me the dream, there is just one penalty for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me."
Dan.2.9
if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can give me its interpretation."
Dan.2.9
If you don't tell me the dream, you will be condemned. You have conspired to tell me lies in hopes that something will change. But tell me the dream, and then I will know that you can tell me what it means."
Dan.2.10
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Dan.2.10
The fortunetellers said, "Nobody anywhere can do what you ask. And no king, great or small, has ever demanded anything like this from any magician, enchanter, or fortuneteller.
Dan.2.10
The astrologers answered the king, "There is not a man on earth who can do what the king asks! No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or astrologer.
Dan.2.10
The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, "There is not a man on earth who can tell the king's matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean.
Dan.2.10
The astrologers replied to the king, "There isn't a man alive who can tell Your Majesty his dream! And no king, however great and powerful, has ever asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer!
Dan.2.11
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Dan.2.11
What you're asking is impossible unless some god or goddess should reveal it--and they don't hang around with people like us."
Dan.2.11
What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among men."
Dan.2.11
It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."
Dan.2.11
This is an impossible thing the king requires. No one except the gods can tell you your dream, and they do not live among people."
Dan.2.12
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.12
That set the king off. He lost his temper and ordered the whole company of Babylonian wise men killed.
Dan.2.12
This made the king so angry and furious that he ordered the execution of all the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.12
For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.12
The king was furious when he heard this, and he sent out orders to execute all the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.13
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
Dan.2.13
When the death warrant was issued, Daniel and his companions were included. They also were marked for execution.
Dan.2.13
So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death, and men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.
Dan.2.13
So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them.
Dan.2.13
And because of the king's decree, men were sent to find and kill Daniel and his friends.
Dan.2.14
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
Dan.2.14
When Arioch, chief of the royal guards, was making arrangements for the execution, Daniel wisely took him aside
Dan.2.14
When Arioch, the commander of the king's guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact.
Dan.2.14
Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon;
Dan.2.14
When Arioch, the commander of the king's guard, came to kill them, Daniel handled the situation with wisdom and discretion.
Dan.2.15
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
Dan.2.15
and quietly asked what was going on: "Why this all of a sudden?" After Arioch filled in the background,
Dan.2.15
He asked the king's officer, "Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?" Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel.
Dan.2.15
he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, "Why is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.
Dan.2.15
He asked Arioch, "Why has the king issued such a harsh decree?" So Arioch told him all that had happened.
Dan.2.16
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
Dan.2.16
Daniel went to the king and asked for a little time so that he could interpret the dream.
Dan.2.16
At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.
Dan.2.16
So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.
Dan.2.16
Daniel went at once to see the king and requested more time so he could tell the king what the dream meant.
Dan.2.17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Dan.2.17
Daniel then went home and told his companions Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what was going on.
Dan.2.17
Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
Dan.2.17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
Dan.2.17
Then Daniel went home and told his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what had happened.
Dan.2.18
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.18
He asked them to pray to the God of heaven for mercy in solving this mystery so that the four of them wouldn't be killed along with the whole company of Babylonian wise men.
Dan.2.18
He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.18
that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.18
He urged them to ask the God of heaven to show them his mercy by telling them the secret, so they would not be executed along with the other wise men of Babylon.
Dan.2.19
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Dan.2.19
That night the answer to the mystery was given to Daniel in a vision. Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
Dan.2.19
During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
Dan.2.19
Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Dan.2.19
That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven,
Dan.2.20
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
Dan.2.20
saying, "Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever. He knows all, does all:
Dan.2.20
and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.
Dan.2.20
Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.
Dan.2.20
saying, "Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he alone has all wisdom and power.
Dan.2.21
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Dan.2.21
He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down, he provides both intelligence and discernment,
Dan.2.21
He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Dan.2.21
And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.
Dan.2.21
He determines the course of world events; he removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
Dan.2.22
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Dan.2.22
He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark--light spills out of him!
Dan.2.22
He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.
Dan.2.22
He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.
Dan.2.22
He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he himself is surrounded by light.
Dan.2.23
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
Dan.2.23
God of all my ancestors, all thanks! all praise! You made me wise and strong. And now you've shown us what we asked for. You've solved the king's mystery."
Dan.2.23
I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."
Dan.2.23
"I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king's demand."
Dan.2.23
I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength. You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded."
Dan.2.24
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
Dan.2.24
So Daniel went back to Arioch, who had been put in charge of the execution. He said, "Call off the execution! Take me to the king and I'll interpret his dream."
Dan.2.24
Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, "Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him."
Dan.2.24
Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation."
Dan.2.24
Then Daniel went in to see Arioch, who had been ordered to execute the wise men of Babylon. Daniel said to him, "Don't kill the wise men. Take me to the king, and I will tell him the meaning of his dream."
Dan.2.25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
Dan.2.25
Arioch didn't lose a minute. He ran to the king, bringing Daniel with him, and said, "I've found a man from the exiles of Judah who can interpret the king's dream!"
Dan.2.25
Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, "I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can tell the king what his dream means."
Dan.2.25
Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king, and said thus to him, "I have found a man of the captives of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation."
Dan.2.25
Then Arioch quickly took Daniel to the king and said, "I have found one of the captives from Judah who will tell Your Majesty the meaning of your dream!"
Dan.2.26
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
Dan.2.26
The king asked Daniel (renamed in Babylonian, Belteshazzar), "Are you sure you can do this--tell me the dream I had and interpret it for me?"
Dan.2.26
The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), "Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?"
Dan.2.26
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?"
Dan.2.26
The king said to Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar), "Is this true? Can you tell me what my dream was and what it means?"
Dan.2.27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
Dan.2.27
Daniel answered the king, "No mere human can solve the king's mystery, I don't care who it is--no wise man, enchanter, magician, diviner.
Dan.2.27
Daniel replied, "No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about,
Dan.2.27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king.
Dan.2.27
Daniel replied, "There are no wise men, enchanters, magicians, or fortune-tellers who can tell the king such things.
Dan.2.28
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
Dan.2.28
But there is a God in heaven who solves mysteries, and he has solved this one. He is letting King Nebuchadnezzar in on what is going to happen in the days ahead. This is the dream you had when you were lying on your bed, the vision that filled your mind:
Dan.2.28
but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you lay on your bed are these:
Dan.2.28
But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:
Dan.2.28
But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you your dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your bed.
Dan.2.29
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
Dan.2.29
"While you were stretched out on your bed, O king, thoughts came to you regarding what is coming in the days ahead. The Revealer of Mysteries showed you what will happen.
Dan.2.29
"As you were lying there, O king, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.
Dan.2.29
As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.
Dan.2.29
"While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamed about coming events. The revealer of mysteries has shown you what is going to happen.
Dan.2.30
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
Dan.2.30
But the interpretation is given through me, not because I'm any smarter than anyone else in the country, but so that you will know what it means, so that you will understand what you dreamed.
Dan.2.30
As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men, but so that you, O king, may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.
Dan.2.30
But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
Dan.2.30
And it is not because I am wiser than any living person that I know the secret of your dream, but because God wanted you to understand what you were thinking about.
Dan.2.31
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
Dan.2.31
"What you saw, O king, was a huge statue standing before you, striking in appearance. And terrifying.
Dan.2.31
"You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue-an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance.
Dan.2.31
"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.
Dan.2.31
"Your Majesty, in your vision you saw in front of you a huge and powerful statue of a man, shining brilliantly, frightening and awesome.
Dan.2.32
This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Dan.2.32
The head of the statue was pure gold, the chest and arms were silver, the belly and hips were bronze,
Dan.2.32
The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
Dan.2.32
This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
Dan.2.32
The head of the statue was made of fine gold, its chest and arms were of silver, its belly and thighs were of bronze,
Dan.2.33
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Dan.2.33
the legs were iron, and the feet were an iron-ceramic mixture.
Dan.2.33
its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.
Dan.2.33
its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
Dan.2.33
its legs were of iron, and its feet were a combination of iron and clay.
Dan.2.34
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Dan.2.34
While you were looking at this statue, a stone cut out of a mountain by an invisible hand hit the statue, smashing its iron-ceramic feet.
Dan.2.34
While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.
Dan.2.34
You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
Dan.2.34
But as you watched, a rock was cut from a mountain by supernatural means. It struck the feet of iron and clay, smashing them to bits.
Dan.2.35
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Dan.2.35
Then the whole thing fell to pieces--iron, tile, bronze, silver, and gold, smashed to bits. It was like scraps of old newspapers in a vacant lot in a hot dry summer, blown every which way by the wind, scattered to oblivion. But the stone that hit the statue became a huge mountain, dominating the horizon.
Dan.2.35
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Dan.2.35
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Dan.2.35
The whole statue collapsed into a heap of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. The pieces were crushed as small as chaff on a threshing floor, and the wind blew them all away without a trace. But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.
Dan.2.36
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
Dan.2.36
This was your dream. "And now we'll interpret it for the king.
Dan.2.36
"This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king.
Dan.2.36
"This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
Dan.2.36
"That was the dream; now I will tell Your Majesty what it means.
Dan.2.37
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
Dan.2.37
You, O king, are the most powerful king on earth. The God of heaven has given you the works: rule, power, strength, and glory.

Dan.2.38
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
Dan.2.38
He has put you in charge of men and women, wild animals and birds, all over the world--you're the head ruler, you are the head of gold.
Dan.2.38
in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

Dan.2.39
"After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.
Dan.2.39

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
Dan.2.40
and after that by a fourth kingdom, iron-like in strength. Just as iron smashes things to bits, breaking and pulverizing, it will bust up the previous kingdoms.
Dan.2.40
Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron-for iron breaks and smashes everything-and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.
Dan.2.40

Dan.2.41
"But then the feet and toes that ended up as a mixture of ceramic and iron will deteriorate into a mongrel kingdom with some remains of iron in it. Just as the toes of the feet were part ceramic and part iron,
Dan.2.41
Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay.
Dan.2.41
Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
Dan.2.41
The feet and toes you saw that were a combination of iron and clay show that this kingdom will be divided.
Dan.2.42
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

Dan.2.42
As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Dan.2.42
And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
Dan.2.42

Dan.2.43
That kingdom won't bond, won't hold together any more than iron and clay hold together.
Dan.2.43
And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
Dan.2.43
As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Dan.2.45
It will be like the stone cut from the mountain by the invisible hand that crushed the iron, the bronze, the ceramic, the silver, and the gold.

Dan.2.45
This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands-a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
