Daniel

³⁰But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than anyone else living, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king and that you may know the thoughts of your heart and mind. ³¹You, O king, saw, and behold, [there was] a great image. This image which was mighty and of exceedingly great brightness stood before you, and the appearance of it was frightening and terrible. ³²As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, ³³Its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay [the baked clay of the potter]. ³⁴As you looked, a Stone was cut out without human hands, which smote the image on its feet of iron and [baked] clay [of the potter] and broke them to pieces. [I Pet. 2:3-8.] ³⁵Then the iron, the [baked] clay [of the potter], the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken and crushed together and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. And the Stone that smote the image became a great mountain or rock and filled the whole earth. ³⁶This was the dream, and we will tell the interpretation of it to the king.
