¹⁷ You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.^(A)

³² The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away^(A) without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain^(B) and filled the whole earth.^(C)

⁴⁵ This is the meaning of the vision of the rock^(A) cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands^(B)—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.^(C) The dream is true^(D) and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

²⁹ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.^(A)
