- 王阿,你梦见一个大像,这像甚高,极其光耀,站在你面前,形状甚是可怕。
- 这像的头是精金的,胸膛和膀臂是银的,肚腹和腰是铜的,
- 腿是铁的,脚是半铁半泥的。
- 你观看,见有一块非人手凿出来的石头打在这像半铁半泥的脚上,把脚砸碎。
- 于是金,银,铜,铁,泥都一同砸得粉碎,成如夏天禾场上的糠秕,被风吹散,无处可寻。打碎这像的石头变成一座大山,充满天下。

- "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.
- "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
- its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
- "You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.
- "Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
