Daniels interpretations of king Nebuchadnezzars
vision of the statue Dan 231 Thou, O king,
sawest, and behold a great image. This great
image, whose brightness was excellent, stood
before thee and the form thereof was terrible.
Dan 232 This image's head was of fine gold,
his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and
his thighs of brass, Dan 233 His legs of iron,
his feet part of iron and part of clay. Dan 234
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out
without hands, which smote the image upon his
feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them
to pieces. Dan 235 Then was the iron, the
clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken
to pieces together, and became like the chaff of
the summer threshingfloors and the wind carried
them away, that no place was found for them and
the stone that smote the image became a great
mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Daniel
231-35, KJV)
