Daniel 2:40-43
English Standard Version
Daniel 2:40-43
English Standard Version
40 And (A)there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron (B)breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall (C)break and crush all these. 41 And as you saw (D)the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the (E)firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage,[a] but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

Daniel 2:40-43
New International Version
40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.(A) 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
