27:002:038 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.
27:002:039 And after thee shall arise another kingdom
inferior to thee,
and
another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule
over
all
the earth.
27:002:040 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.
27:002:041 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes,
part of potters’
clay,
and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but
there
shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch
as
thou
sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
27:002:042 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.
27:002:043 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with
miry clay, they shall
mingle
themselves with the seed of men: but they shall
not
cleave
one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
27:002:044 And in the days of these kings shall the
God of heaven set up
a
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the
kingdom
shall
not be left to other people, but it shall break in
pieces
and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
for
ever.
27:002:045 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.
27:002:046 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon
his face, and
worshipped
Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an
oblation
and sweet odours unto him.
27:002:047 The king answered unto Daniel, and said,
Of a truth it is,
that
your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and
a
revealer
of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
27:002:048 Then the king made Daniel a great man,
and gave him many great
gifts,
and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon,
and
chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
27:002:049 Then Daniel requested of the king, and
he set Shadrach,
Meshach,
and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of
Babylon:
but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
