Daniel 2:40-42
New English Translation

40 Then there will be a fourth kingdom, one strong like iron. Just like iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, and as iron breaks in pieces[a] all these metals,[b] so it will break in pieces and crush the others.[c] 41 In that you were seeing feet and toes[d] partly of wet clay[e] and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay.[f] 42 In that the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, the latter stages of this kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile.
