Daniel 2:40-45 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.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
