Daniel 2:40-44

New American Standard Bible 1995

Rome

⁴⁰ Then there will be a ^(A)fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces. ⁴¹ In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with ^[a]common clay. ⁴² As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. ⁴³ And in that you saw the iron mixed with ^[b]common clay, they will combine with one another ^[c]in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

The Divine Kingdom

⁴⁴ In the days of those kings the ^(B)God of heaven will ^(C)set up a ^(D)kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be ^[d]left for another people; it will ^(E)crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.
