THE DREAM’S INTERPRETATION

31 “Your Majesty, as you were watching, suddenly a colossal statue appeared. That statue, tall and dazzling, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was terrifying. 32 The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its stomach and thighs were bronze, 33 its legs were iron, and its feet were partly iron and partly fired clay. 34 As you were watching, a stone broke off without a hand touching it,A,a struck the statueb on its feet of iron and fired clay, and crushed them.c 35 Then the iron, the fired clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were shattered and became like chaffd from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and fillede the whole earth.
