Daniel 2:37-39

Expanded Bible

³⁷ O king, you are the ·greatest king [^Lking of kings]. God of heaven has given you a kingdom, ·power [sovereignty], strength, and ·glory [honor]. ³⁸ Wherever people, wild animals, and birds live, God made you ruler over them. King Nebuchadnezzar, you are the head of gold.

³⁹ “Another kingdom will ·come [rise up] after you, but ·it will not be as great as [inferior to] yours [^Cperhaps the Medes or the Medo-Persians]. Next a third kingdom, the bronze part, will rule over the earth [^Cperhaps the Persians or the Greeks].
