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 [ver. 38] The head of this image was of fine gold, [ver. 39]its chest and arms of silver, its middle and [ver. 39]thighs of bronze, 33 [ver. 40]its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out [ch. 8:25;Job 34:20;Lam. 4:6;2 Cor. 5:1] by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and ver. 35, 40, 44, 45;Isa. 8:9;[Matt. 21:44;Luke 20:18]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 Ps. 1:4like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that [Rev. 20:11] not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became [Isa. 2:2] a great mountain [Ps. 80:9]and filled the whole earth.
