¹⁶ So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

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.”

¹⁰ “Who dares despise the day^(A) of small things,^(B) since the seven eyes^(C) of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone^[a] in the hand of Zerubbabel?”^(D)

⁶ Then I saw a Lamb,^(A) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures^(B) and the elders.^(C) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,^(D) which are the seven spirits^[a](E) of God sent out into all the earth.
