35 Da blev Jernet, Leret, Kobberet, Sølvet og Guldet knuste paa een Gang og bleve ligesom Avner fra Tærskepladserne om Sommeren, og Vinden borttog dem, og intet Sted blev fundet for dem; men den Sten, som sønderslog Billedet, blev til et stort Bjerg og opfyldte hele Jorden.

45 efterdi du saa, at en Sten blev løsrevet fra Bjerget, og det ikke ved Hænder, og at den knuste Jernet, Kobberet, Leret, Sølvet og Guldet. Den store Gud har ladet Kongen vide, hvad der skal ske herefter, og Drømmen staar fast, og Udtydningen derpaa er vis.
