Daniel 2:33-35
New English Translation
Daniel 2:33-35
New English Translation
33 Its legs were of iron; its feet were partly of iron and partly of clay.[a] 34 You were watching as[b] a stone was cut out,[c] but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction[d] and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.
