In context

28 but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are, these:—

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts upon thy bed, arose regarding what should come to pass hereafter; and, he that revealeth secrets, made known to thee what shall come to pass.

30 But, as for me—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me,—therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.

31 As for thee, O king, thou wast looking, when lo! a great image, this image, being mighty, and the brightness thereof surpassing, was standing before thee,—and, the appearance thereof, was terrible.

32 As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were of silver,—its belly and its thighs, of bronze;

33 its legs, of iron,—and, its feet, part of them, of iron, and, part of them, of clay.

34 Thou didst look, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay,—and they were broken in pieces.
