Daniel 2:41-44

International Standard Version

⁴¹ “The feet and toes that you saw, made partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, represent^[a] a divided kingdom. It will still have the strength of iron, in that you saw iron mixed with clay. ⁴² Just as their toes and feet are part iron and part clay, so will the kingdom be both strong and brittle. ⁴³ Just as you saw iron mixed with clay, so they will mix themselves with human offspring.^[b] Furthermore,^[c] they won’t remain together, just as iron doesn’t mix with clay.

⁴⁴ “During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor its sovereignty^[d] left in the hands of another people. It will shatter and crush all of these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
