31 "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. 32 i The head of this image was of fine gold, j its chest and arms of silver, its middle and j thighs of bronze, 33 k its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out l by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and m broke them in pieces.
