Daniel 2:36-48

Rotherham(i) 36 This, is the dream, and, the interpretation thereof, we will tell before the king. 37 Thou, O king, art the king of kings,––for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity; 38 and, wheresoever the sons of men do dwell, the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou, art the head of gold. 39 And, after thee, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee,––and another––a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout all the earth. 40 And, the fourth kingdom, shall be hard as iron,––in like manner as iron breaketh in pieces and crusheth all things,––even as iron which bringeth to ruins all these, shall it break in pieces and bring to ruins. 41 And, whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, the kingdom, shall be, divided, and, of the hardness of the iron, shall there be in it,––forasmuch as thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay; 42 and, the toes of the feet, part of them, iron, and, part, of clay,––some part of the kingdom, shall be strong, but, a part thereof, shall be brittle; 43 and, whereas thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay, they shall be combined with the seed of men, but shall not cleave firmly one to another,––lo! as iron is not to be combined with clay. 44 And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left,––it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.
46 Then, King Nebuchadnezzar, fell upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out unto him. 47 The king answered Daniel, and said––Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets,––seeing thou wast able to reveal this secret. 48 Then, the king, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon,––and chief of the nobles, over all the wise men of Babylon.
