Daniel 2:43-45

Expanded Bible

⁴³ You saw the iron mixed with ·clay [pottery; terra cotta], but iron and ·clay [pottery; terra cotta] do not hold together. In the same way the people of the fourth kingdom will be a mixture, but they will not be united as one people.

⁴⁴ “During the ·time [^Ldays] of those kings, the God of heaven will set up another kingdom that will never be destroyed [^Cthe kingdom of God] or given to another group of people. This kingdom will crush all the other kingdoms and bring them to an end [v. 40], but it will ·continue [stand] forever.

⁴⁵ “King Nebuchadnezzar, you saw a rock cut from a mountain, but ·no human being touched it [^Lnot by hand]. The rock broke the iron, bronze, ·clay [or pottery; or terra cotta], silver, and gold to pieces. In this way the great God ·showed [made known to] you what will happen. The dream is ·true [certain], and you can trust this ·explanation [interpretation].”
