And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.
42 and digit foot [the] (from them *Q(K)*) iron (and from them *Q(K)*) clay from end kingdom [the] to be strong and from her to be to break
And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.

In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.
45 like/as to/for before: because that to see that from mountain [the] to determine stone that not in/on/with hand and to break up iron [the] bronze [the] clay [the] silver [the] and gold [the] god great to know to/for king [the] what? that to be after this and certain dream [the] and to trust interpretation his
